I think I need to get better at working without parchment. I've never had trouble launching pizza from the paddle because I've always used parchment. I can't do that in the grill, and I'm having trouble getting them launched. Dough is good, my shaping is improving, but I fuck 'em up when I launch.
It does a stellar job on the crust. I mean just outstanding. Still working on figuring out the top heat. [Reply]

I was going to try a pizza on the grill using my stone, not sure it will fit. That and I don't what to fuck up another stone.
I have a Chicago style pie working in my head with a fried crust in cast iron, been too busy to try it out. [Reply]
Just a thought on launching, do you slide a bit of the pizza off the paddle so the front edge sticks to the cooking surface and then give it a jerk to pull the paddle out? [Reply]

No, never tried that. Will do it next time.
I love Chicago pizza, but I've never made it myself. I should sometime. [Reply]

Swung by the Maxwell Street Market in Chicago this morning to hit up a taco stand (the only reason to go there). They make their tortillas to order. I got an al pastor taco and a quesadilla con mole rojo (chunks of pork, cheese, red mole). I could slather that mole rojo on just about anything. Rich and smoky with enough heat to make my nose run. Pics are a bit shitty as I was dining on the curb.
