ProQ Pizza Stone Review
Cooking Pizza on a bullet smoker isn’t something usually done, these smokers, such as the ProQ Frontier are designed to put out a relatively constant 110 deg C /225 deg F for Low’N’Slow Barbecue, so I was intrigued to see how the searing temperatures required for good Pizza could be achieved 300+ deg C.
