Perfect Pizza

The Suburban Oven in my Minnie Winnie 22M has a single linear burner running fore-to-aft, right down the center of the Oven. This creates a nasty hot-strip, which makes even baking impossible. I have added a 15" pizza stone to my oven, enabling even heat distribution. Furthermore, I also noticed that the oven control is not a thermostat at all, but rather is a throttle valve; just like the controllers for the burners on the stove top. For my current ambient conditions, I needed to set my "thermostat" on 500ºF in order to achieve an oven temperature of 400ºF. Perfect Pizza is possible, given these two essential upgrades.
Purchased items:

  • Large 3” dial oven thermometer - KT THERMO (2018 New Design) NSF-approved accurately easy-to-read extra large dial clearly display shows marked temperatures for Professional and Home Kitchens Cooking

Perfect Pizza made better?

It looks like I was premature with my last assessment of just a pizza stone and thermometer to cook the perfect pizza. Albeit not as bad, I was still getting a scorch mark right down the middle, above the oven's single burner. I inserted a bronze-colored metal cooking sheet placed under the rack, upside-down. It is sitting on the top of the heat deflector. It has made the pizza much better with a more even distribution of heat. Better yes, but is it perfect? Please see photo below.

I am finding that for a pizza which requires a 400ºF cooking temperature, this method works fairly well:
  • Hang the thermometer under the left edge of the metal rack, to keep it readable but out-of-the-way.
  • Adjust the oven setting to maximum <Broil>
  • Once the thermometer indicates 250ºF, reduce the oven setting to 425ºF and begin cooking for the prescribed recipe time.
Thanks; Eagle5

Two Stones are better than one. The burn strip on the Pizza is eliminated.
The top stone is 15" in diameter, while the bottom stone is 12" in diameter.
