I really want to see how it works for the pizza.
our youngest son got a Pit Boss smoker grill a bit larger than ours for Christmas .... they use it often for making Pizza and have been delighted with it .... they say its wood fired pizzas are excellent .... they also say that it saves them a good deal of money .... we do plan to test ours soon

Speaking of pizza. I just purchased a Breville Pizza Oven. it’s 750 degree temp gets a Neapolitan style pizza out of the oven in 2 minutes. We’ve had pizza everyday over the past week. I agree that it saves a bundle of money with pizzas in the $12-20> range. Trial run Pepperoni and home made Italian Sausage beat my expectations.: Note: I cut it into 6 slices, because we couldn’t eat 8.

I just ordered a three upgrade items for our Davy Crockett grill/smoker from a company named Pimp My Grill .... a plus with them is no additional sales tax or shipping charges :

the first is a Davy Crockett / Trek GMG - Upper & Lower Sliding PMG Rack System 2 -- https://pimpmygrill.com/davy-crockett-trek-gmg-upper-lower-sliding-pmg-rack-system-2-racks/

the second is their Davy Crocket / Trek Front Shelf / Bodyguard -- https://pimpmygrill.com/davy-crocket-trek-front-shelf-bodyguard/

the third is a roll of Smoker Gasket Seals Self-Adhesive High Temp Sealing -- https://pimpmygrill.com/smoker-gasket-seals-self-adhesive-high-temp-sealing-grill-gaskets-tape-15ft/

in an info exchange with them a few minutes ago I learned that all three items are in stock and should ship Monday from San Diego .... it should take them about a week to get to us .... if that proves to be correct, they will arrive about a week before we head for South Dakota for the summer ....other than, as mentioned earlier, upgrading the 12V wire end plugs, I don't foresee any making any other mods

We moved back to Sioux Falls, SD last fall. As I recall you mentioned your home town is nearby, so I’ll watch for smoke signals!

My dad and I contract buried phone lines to various farm homes for Ma Bell around the Estelline area years ago. My guess is you will cook up a storm!

Have you had to load up and get out the Davey Crockett Grill yet? I'm wondering how it works for ease of loading and unloading. In July, we will be in NH and ME for three weeks, so I'm considering it for that trip. I'm also going to Watkins Glen in June and that might be a trial too.

won't be loading it into the camper for the first time until Wednesday or Thursday .... its taller and 4 or so inches longer than our former smoker .... weight about the same .... I already know that when setting up the legs, its really handy to have an extra pair of hands

UPDATE :

well, my seemingly unending search for a good smoker/grill to use when we are traveling has taken yet another twist (or turn I'm unsure which) .... ..... just under a year ago, for traveling, I ordered a Ninja Woodfire Pro Outdoor Grill & Smoker ====> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8PJDC63?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 ..... there are bunches of YouTube videos about using one for anyone who may be interested ..... it has turned out to be the finest smoker/grill that we've ever owned .... it works so well that in addition to while traveling, its the one we use almost all of the time at home .... its size and weight make it ideal for packing in our camper .... it is designed to be left outside and with its cover and cart, not a spec of rust .... the pictures below show only a small selection of foods we have used it cook
