Grilling Pizza, a Heat Transfer Problem

If grilling pizza strikes you as a bad idea, you're not alone. But Cook's Illustrated suggested it could be done and we were able to back up their results with simulations, so we had to try grilling our own pizza. Watch the video to see how our "backyard pizza grilling" experiment turned out.
After watching the video, read more about the simulations on the COMSOL Blog: www.comsol.com/blogs/finding-...

    New to charcoal pizza. Yesterday i made the worst, most burned bottom pizza. (Looked good from the top) watched this video and applied what i learned. A few minutes ago i finished one of the best pizzas ive ever had. Your doing the lords work. Keep it up.

    Get a pizza stone and throw it on the grates. Itll keep the bottom from getting burt.

    I used COMSOL in a way similar to this video to model/simulate baking bread in an industrial tunnel oven. My simulation was my doctoral dissertation, and is online in the OhioLINK Electronic Theses & Dissertations Center website. The title is "CFD and Heat Transfer Models of Baking Bread in a Tunnel Oven", and the author is Raymond Matthew Adamic.

    What an awesome idea! I just got a license to COMSOL today for my Master's thesis on cryogenic hydrogen storage. I am totally going to be simulating my grill and BBQ on the weekends for the perfect ribs this summer!

    @@erockromulan9329 Thank you. I got the idea to simulate baking bread in an oven from (coincidentally) where I worked at a pizza place. Good luck on your thesis (and simulation of your grill and BBQ).

    Well, things have really changed in the science of kettle grilling. The method you propose can be a real challenge for some. If you just apply the ring method with a top deflector and a pizza stone bottom with the convection process, you will find it much easier and trouble free. I recently found this (Focused Element Creative) on KZread, and wow, this guy nailed it...!!! The heat generated along with the setup mimicked the "pizza oven" style to a T!

    Would recommend using a pizza bed unless you want your pizza dry and crispy even when the guy takes a bite in the video sounds like he broke a tooth defoe invest in a pizza stone guys and do it properly

    Using a stone makes the heat spread evenly. However; in a real pizza oven, the heat comes from the back.

    Doesn't spread the heat. It just make a crispy crust. That's why you still have to rotate the pizza in a traditional pizza oven.
