Yeah the Komodo Kamado does cost a LOT more.
The only issue I have with pizzas in the kamado is finding a pizza stone that can handle 700-750F heat... I'm on my third this season... Maybe the kamadocooker one will do the trick, it seems thicker than the $15 ones you buy in homeware stores...

Why go that high ? (Unless you have a Komodo brand which can handle it). I do pizzas at 450F with no probs.
I cracked the top fire ring the only time mine went above 650. I haven't been close to that since.

That's what I do as well, but it seems every now and again the stone has enough and cracks during cooking. At 750F you can do the famous 2 minute pizzas which are great (but most times the high temp is due to me overshooting the target temp of 650F.. ).
Seriously a weber kettle with FUll Baskets of beads is ready in 45min and cooks thin lightly topped pizzas in around 3 minutes. I add a soaked wood chip with each pizza for wood fired taste. Absolutely dead simple and good fun with a group of friends!
what pizza stones are you guys using when cranking the temps up to those levels?
i planning on using a double layer.. i.e. 1 layer = pizza stone pack from costco.. fairly thin.... 2nd layer = cheap non glazed terracotta tiles...
I just got a Kamadocooker stone. It is more than twice as thick as the other stones I've had. Haven't brought it up to super high temps yet, we'll have to see how that goes, but it does ooze confidence

We will see if that's the end of its good run....
Hmmm.....That'd be Ex-Fiancé!
