While camping, bring along your pizza stone (if you have room) and make a home-made pizza on your grille.
We recently purchase a “Walk-A-Bout” charcoal grill by Aussie Grills - It folds up flat (with wheels) for easy traveling. Our first try at grilled pizza turned out horribly. Yuck. The top was pretty good, but the bottom was burned. We learned quickly that using “indirect” heat works much better than direct heat.
The next time, the charcoals were moved to the outer perimeter of the grill. The grill acted as an oven and baked the pizza. Delicious.
Oh, by the way, whole wheat pizza dough comes out rather dry. Regular pizza dough from your local grocery’s bakery department works great. You can make your own homemade dough, but that gets difficult when camping. Just remember to bring extra flour, along with the dough, pizza sauce, cheese and optional toppings.
For some great BBQ tips and recipes, we highly recommend the “How To Grill” book by Steven Raichlen. Happy Eating!
Sounds like a great recipe! I’m surprised to see that it doesn’t require preheating of the pizza stone. Have you tried preheating it on the grill? Just curious…..

Hey Claire, Yep, we tried to preheat the stone the first time we made the pizza, and I think that added to the over-done burnt bottom problem. The next time we decided to cook it on the cold stone, and it worked fine. I think we might be trying out pizza again this weekend maybe too! Now I am hungry! *smile*

Hey there,
I forgot all about being able to make pizza on the grill. I think I am going to try and accomplish it this weekend when I go to Keiser Pond
