Irony or just karma? The oven is back up on groupon for $359.99 with a pizza peel.

Norma, you always seem to get good rim rise, no matter the dough formulation or type of oven.
How do you do that...is it the way you open the skin, creating an edge, or some secret method?

Some pretty sweet looking pies you are pulling out of that oven Norma.

woodmakesitgood,

I don't have any secret method in opening dough balls into skins. I just try to let the rim alone as much as I can. Higher heat helps too.

A dough was mixed with the KA sourdough starter and IDY. The bake in the Blackstone was done on a pizza stone.

Nice pie Norma. It is clear that you bake well on either firebrick or cordierite.

Awesome pie Norma.

I hope you don't mind me asking few questions on your post, I am trying to compare BS to MPO results for NY style. I see many neapolitan pies come out of BS but I think, you are the only one on pm using BS for NY style.

How long was your bake time? what did yo have to do to keep BS in mid 600s F?

Dave,

Thanks! I think firebricks or a cordierite stone would work for anyone that wants to try different baking surfaces for the Blackstone.

Bert,

I don't mind any questions. I don't think I am the only member trying the Blackstone for NY style pies. I think the other members posts on NY style pizza might be scattered on the original Blackstone thread.

I did not really time the bake time, but think it was a little less than 4 minutes. You really don't have to do much of anything to keep the Blackstone in the mid temperature ranges of the 600's. If the temperature goes higher than I want I just turn the knob on the front of the BS down and wait a little. A constant temperature almost can be kept if you fool around enough to find out how to do that.

If you go back to my post (and following posts) starting at Reply 198 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=26483.msg279105;topicseen#msg279105 you can see that I took the Blackstone to an event at market. It was not hard to keep the temperatures about the same to make those NY style pizzas.

Has anyone ordered this oven from Cabela's at the current sale price of $299? Are they shipping the older model or the newer model with the propane holder?

Marty Runik · « **Reply #777 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:16:49 PM »

I just got mine today. It's the older model.
