Kettle with Pizza Stone
Weber
Using a standard Weber kettle with a pizza stone is a viable entry into charcoal pizza baking, not a dedicated pizza oven. With the right setup you can reach 400°C+ — but it requires practice and active fire management for consistent top heat.
Specifications
Pros
- If you already own a Weber kettle, the pizza stone conversion costs under $50
- Charcoal imparts flavor no electric oven can replicate
- Versatile baseline — the kettle remains a full-function grill between sessions
Cons
- Not a pizza oven — top heat requires fire management skill, not a dial
- 30–45 minute preheat of charcoal management
- Consistency varies between attempts until you develop technique
- 18 kg kettle is not portable — fixed outdoor installation
