Would this grate hold a pizza? I am considering buying a Lodge 14" cast iron pizza pan for $40, but if this grate will hold a pizza without falling through the grate, then I could save $40 on the pizza pan. I'm only looking at the picture, but it looks...

I'd consider a grill pizza stone. Just set it on the grate without worrying about the cast iron pizza pan. You may also like the KettlePizza insert. I splurged and I love it. Keeps the temp up for great pizza.

I use it for a fire pit, but I would think that the pizza would fall through the slits when cooking.

What grilling stone? Seems as though it is now unobtainium. Char-Griller had them when I checked, but expensive and I would have to pay twelve bucks shipping. I purchased the charcoal grate for a Webber kettle grill, which fits where the stone would go if you can find one someplace, and I bought a 15" aluminum pizza pan for a heat deflector. I think it works just as well as a stone. I have no idea what happened to the stone. Some folks got a stone included with the grill. I did not, but the price of the grill was very good considering prices on other Kamados.

not a pizza, unless it is small. The rack is 8.5 X 9, so it will hold an 8" square pan.

The oven has a pizza stone for making "standard" pizza. It works quite well. I love it! It also comes with a teflon coated pan for "deep dish" pizza with I never use. I don't care for deep dish pizza.

I TOOK The time to look on eBay at the model you asking about, the Weber Q2200, it appears it does not have the grill size that the pizza stone requires. Perhaps a quick visit to a Lowe's or Home Depot would be wise, scope out the actual size, take a tape measure with you. The pizza stone needs 15x17 inch cooking area at least as the slick stainless steel handles take a bit of space. I've used my pizza stone maybe 10-12 times since I bought it and it makes great pizza. You should invest in a wooden pizza peal no wider than 15 inches, when I got mine at a restaurant supply house I took my tape measure and was glad I did because the one that looked fine by eye was too big. You lay down a little flour and corn meal on your peal, push out your dough, put sauce and toppings on that suit you and then you learn to master the landing as I call it: actually getting the whole pie on the stone and not have part of it hanging off the front or back. When you do get the hang of it though it is a lot of fun. I am sure the Q2200 is great for a little city balcony or small apartment porch or camping. But the small tank size would make grilling expensive. This past summer has been quite hot in New Jersey where I am and I'm grilling 5 nights a week, I cook indoors on the rainy days and cook early. I go through the normal sized grill tank in about 3 weeks. We discovered our local Agway farm store does refills of propane tanks and they really FILL the doggone tank. You get a refill tank at Lowes or even 7-Eleven they only put 15 to 17 pounds in. Our local Agway puts 20 pounds in, quite a lot more grilling time. I think it would be wise to SEE this Q2200 grill in person. Best of luck. Michael Hale

As with most any non-stick pot or pan, metal utensils are a no-no. Once you've baked the pizza, transfer to your stone or cutting board to slice it up. I built a wood fired brick pizza oven in the back yard, and the dough is really flimsy and sticky, making the non-stick pan a must for sliding the pizza off into the brick oven. HTH,Mike

I put a pizza stone on the rack. It works well for many things. If you are cooking item after item the stone holds the heat and provides a smooth surface.

I use my 12 inch cast iron skillet to make deep dish pizza. The crust always turns out great and I make gluten free.

Hi Debbie I bought 2 pans a couple of months ago. The pan lays flat and does not "raise" in the middle. What you see on the edge is a rim that is 1/4' inch or so high. I didnt realize this from the photo. I hit it with my pizza cutter. I grew up in NY and the pan I thought I was getting would have an edge that the cutter can run off the pan edge. They are nice otherwise.

No, this Lodge pan bottom measures 14 inches across. A 16 inch pizza pan would fit into the top but would never rest evenly or touch bottom.

There are specific points below the grill where you place the stone (so, below grill, above charcoal). I put a pan of water to help keep things moist on top of the stone. I plan to try to use the stone directly ON the grill to grill pizza (so it's a bit farther from the heat - crust burned when I tried it at lower level) -- I have not tried this yet, but think it should work.

It should hold a 6 qt dutch oven as long as it is assembled and set up very stable. I would recomend testing the weight of your cast iron without a fire first. I used this grill this summer and would purchase it again.. 4 out of 4 stars rating.

It does a great job. I bought the Breville 12" pizza pan, but you could probably use any 12" pan. I will say this one is definitely not flimsy. One thing to remember when using this oven, there are 3 levels that the rack can be placed on. There are marks on the glass door that tell you which level is for toast, which is for baking, etc. I think it's important to use those to have things turn out properly. Since buying this little oven, I use it for almost everything! I love it!

The manual says that it can hold two 16in pizzas, one on each rack. I've cooked one 16in and it just fits with no room to spare, actually touching the front and back surfaces. Slightly smaller would be better, but they are correct that a 16in will fit.

It will hold a 14" pizza, that's why I bought it: the cavity is 14" wide and 14" deep. My issue with the oven was the temperature control, which is still erratic after having it replaced under warranty 4 times.

Sorry, just saw this post. I use it with an 8" skillet (not a Lodge, thouh), and it's fine. It's a really nice grill press, but there are 2 things I'm not crazy about: one is that the screws loosen up and if I forget to check it often, it falls apart in the food or when I pick it up. 2) I do find I have to loosen screws for cleaning, since food, oil, etc, does get into the holes. Hope that helps.
