Craig, do you have a picture of your cactus burner? And where can I get one?

Home Depot. This is it. I was wrong, it's 500,000 BTU.

It can kick start the warming process nicely too.

Hey...don't complain! Craig makes his boys use a flint starter....

Like a mini flame thrower.

Just cook with the lid of the LBE completely off....as the undercrust starts to get done, just stand to the side and shoot some flame out of the cactus burner over the top of the pies for a quick second....pizza done!

Seriously, is that such a bad idea Kelly? We all know the upper heat problems with the LBE.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea.

And it would certainly up the pizza theater metric by several fold. Hmnnnn.....

I used my torch on the Weber kettle once when I was out of charcoal. Kind of like this:

Well, I sure like that...no nasty flareups to hassle with either!
I know those guys said it was their first time doing this...but I think they like over done steaks.
Thanks Don, I'm on my way to Home(away from home)Depot.....

Thank you for all the torch recommendations. I am going to have to pick one up.

It's not as dramatic as it sounds. It just bruns the thorns off the prickly pear so that the cattle can eat it.

Be careful when you use it though. IDK about Craig's oven but their might be some thermal shock in the smaller oven which might case cracks.

Now that's a sweet little girly burner. Here is 500KBTU of fire breathing glory.
