BRICK OVEN-STYLE PIZZAS FROM THE GRILL

PizzaGrill BBQ Pizza Maker makes it possible to produce brick-oven style pizzas
on your own gas grill. The unique design of the PizzaGrill allows you to bake at
higher temperatures than a household oven, resulting in pizzas with superbly
light, crisp and bubbly crusts!

PizzaGrill should only be used on a controlled gas grill, and should never be
allowed to come in direct contact with an open flame or fire. Your PizzaGrill can
also be used in an indoor oven on cold, wet winter nights.

Your PizzaGrill is equipped with a built-in thermometer, allowing you to
accurately gauge the temperature of the grill. The PizzaGrill also has a backsplash
to keep pizzas and toppings from sliding off the stone as well as a back slot where
loose crumbs can be brushed or swept. The particles will fall through the slot and
burn away.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

1. Unwrap metal frame.

2. Attach thermometer to back of grill using provided screws and nuts.

3. Carefully lift stone out from packaging; remove packing.

4. Lower stone into metal frame.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR
PIZZAGRILL BBQ PIZZA MAKER

The PizzaGrill pizza stone is made from high-quality, traditional materials. The
stone, like all pizza stones, is very porous and should never be exposed to liquids.
Never wash or immerse in water. Do not use detergents to clean the stone. The
stone will absorb the flavor of the soap and may impart that taste onto foods
cooked on it.

To clean the pizza stone, allow stone to cool completely, then simply scrape, brush
or wipe clean. A metal dough scraper or spatula may be used to scrape off any
burnt food. A stiff wire or other brush can also be used to scrub the surface of the
stone.

It is perfectly normal for the pizza stone to stain and darken with use. Any dark
stains that result from oil or sauce that spills onto it are also normal. Like a cast­iron skillet, it will perform better with time and seasoning.

HOW TO USE

Never place unheated stone on a hot grill or in the oven. Exposure to extreme
heat differences may cause the pizza stone to crack.

For best quality pizzas, use fresh pizza dough. Always let frozen pizza dough thaw
and warm to room temperature before placing on the pizza stone.

1. Place your PizzaGrill to one side of your gas grill to allow for optimal heat
circulation. The burner(s) directly below the PizzaGrill will provide heat for
the stone, while the burners to the side will provide ambient heat for cooking
the top of the pizzas. Close grill lid to make sure the lid shuts completely;
adjust position of PizzaGrill and remove the temperature gauge if necessary.

2. Start your gas grill with all burners on full or HIGH. If your grill has a
rotisserie burner in back, it can also be used to increase the heat above
the stone.

3. Preheat your PizzaGrill on HIGH for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat level on
the burner(s) directly below the pizza stone to MEDIUM; heat an additional
15 minutes. You are now ready to grill your pizza.

The proper temperature for baking pizzas will be dictated by the thickness of the
dough and toppings. The general rule is the thinner the pizza, the higher the heat.
Higher temperatures (about 500˚F and above) will produce crusts that are crisp
and bubbly like those baked in brick ovens. However, gas grill brands vary widely.
If you are finding that the bottoms of pizzas made on your grill are becoming
charred, you may need to adjust the temperature of your grill. Begin by reducing
the heat level of the burner(s) directly below your PizzaGrill. You will soon learn
how to regulate your grill to achieve the best results.

If using your PizzaGrill in a home oven, place PizzaGrill in a cold oven. Heat the
oven at 500˚F for 30 minutes before baking pizzas.
