in 2007, we bought an inexpensive pizza stone to use on the barbecue... it fits perfectly on the bottom shelf.

Use a peel to place shaped and dressed pizza on preheated stone. Parchment paper under the pizza makes it easier to move. The parchment paper can go onto the hot stone.

Close the lid of the barbecue and allow the pizza to cook for about 5 minutes.

Part way through the cooking, use the peel to turn the pizza around to allow for uneven heat in the barbecue. (The parchment paper can be pulled out at the same time.)

It's ready in no time! Fresh tomato red wine sauce, sautéed mushrooms, grilled and fresh red and yellow peppers, ham, onions, mozzarella, Moroccan oil cured black olives

Pizza made on the barbecue is fabulous! The bottom crust is amazingly tender and crispy.
