Well I pulled the trigger on Monday for the Pizza Kettle. I just snagged the basic kit for $140 shipped from Amazon. It arrived yesterday in fine shape.
Assembly took like 2 minutes. Nothing much to assemble really. Its a one piece metal band with an opening for you to slide the pizza in. Quality looks to be good. They are proudly displaying the fact that this item was MADE IN THE USA! LOL It seems like a lot of $$$ at the moment for what you get but, if it works well that will be my bottom line. I already had a pizza stone but I also picked up a pizza peel to put the pie in and pull it out of the oven. You build your fire at the rear of the pit according to the instructions. I guess that way you lose less heat out of the (giant) mouth. It says in the manual you can't reach the required temps of ~600F to properly cook a pizza without the use of both charcoal AND hardwood. Luckily I have a good supply of both pecan and mesquite wood!
Here is a pic of what this thing looks like (not mine). I will update this hopefully this weekend once I get a chance to maybe try it out!
