Don't think the kid would retain enough heat and also probable to far away to have much of an effect. Worth a go though

I had the same trouble with my pizza. I have a pizza stone, had the weber 57 jammed with hot coals and the temp was just under 300 degrees C, the bottom burned before the top could cook/melt properly. I have meat on top so needed to wait until it was done.

I saw the Weber Academy pizza demo at Grillstock in Manchester, the guy said that all toppings should be cooked and you should never put raw meat on there.

I really fancy the pizza oven addon, but I also like the look of that pizza steel

I saw this and thought it was a great idea, putting a basket of coals on top of the grate... http://www.grilling24x7.com/stone.shtml

Has anybody tried this or has anybody got a working method? About to buy a weber stone at £30/40 but want to make sure it will work well on my 57" weber kettle, thanks.

That's how I did it last time I made BBQ pizza. I've got a cheapo pizza stone (from Homebase Autumn sales) - it doesn't cover all of the 22" grill so there's space for a charcoal basket on there as well. It worked well for me. I got 400-500F on lid thermometer (don't have IR therm - yet) and since bottom coals are offset, the stone hasnt cracked.
