Pizza on the bbq is super easy and yet it can often fail. Here is the technique that works on any bbq with a lid.

1. Use the right charcoal. You need to use charcoal that ignites quickly and therefore heats up quickly. If you use hardwood, it will take longer for your bbq to heat up. The chance that you will find normal charcoal in the store is very big and that is fine.

2. Make sure you light the bbq first and that the coals are lit and hot. Adjust your temperature so that you get the bbq to 300 (350 max).

3. On the rack, directly above the fire, place your pizza stone, another rack, and then another pizza stone.

The first pizza stone will then absorb the first heat. This stone becomes incredibly hot, causing the pizza to burn because it is really too hot. By placing a rack on the first pizza stone, the heat can escape and there is airflow. The 2nd pizza stone is the stone for baking. This will be less hot and therefore the pizza will cook more evenly. Note: if the temperature gets too hot (400 and higher), your top pizza stone is also too hot and your pizza will still burn. So try to keep the temperature steady at 300.

4. Place the pizza on top and close the lid. If the temp is right, the pizza will be ready after 3 to 4 minutes, but that depends on the dough, so you will have to keep an eye on it.

5. if you have used enough charcoal then you can certainly bake a number of pizzas. Let the temp warm up again after each pizza, otherwise you will not bake the rest crispy enough.
