I'd skip pizza, there are far better and easier ways to accomplish great pizza.

Since you want to use it often, you need to add vegetables & seafood into your mix. Roast a few whole eggplants to make baba ganoush, then use the same fire for shawarma style chicken skewers and grilled eggplant planks. After your main cook, toss a few foil-wrapped sweet potatoes or baking potatoes to bake in the falling heat after you close the vents. You'll have a chunk of the next day's lunch or dinner in hand with virtually no effort.

Try some pork chops, do a soy/pineapple sauce or glaze, and grill some pineapple spears brushed with coconut milk to accompany the pork. If you have leftover grilled pineapple, turn it into a salsa for some grilled chicken tacos on day two.

The Egg is just an outside oven--anything you can cook in your oven, you can cook on the egg. Try doing a nice cast iron pan of cornbread.....or put a pot of beans to cook on one side as you quick-grill something for dinner, and then reduce the heat and let the beans simmer 'til you're ready for bed. Remove from egg, stick in fridge, and again, the next day's meal is sorted.

I just got a BGE last week. No where in town has a conveggtor in stock. I smoked some wings by making a multi layer disk out of foil and laying it over the coals the other day. They were tasty but the skin didn’t crisp enough so I don’t want to do that again. Is there another way to smoke something without that piece?
