KettlePizza Gas Pro Assembly:
Assembly of the KettlePizza Gas Pro is quick and easy. One piece, heavy-
duty stainless steel construction facilitates ease of assembly and will provide
you with years of trouble free use.
1. Remove KettlePizza Gas Pro from box, be careful as the unit is heavy.
Take care not to drop the pizza stone that is in the bottom of the box.
2. Locate thermometer, remove protective bubble wrap as well as wing
nut.
3. Place thermometer shaft into hole on top of KettlePizza unit.
4. Add wing nut to rear of shaft and tighten. Be sure to properly align
thermometer for easy reading as you tighten.
5. Remove stone from protective sleeve and set aside.
Congratulations! Your KettlePizza Gas Pro is now ready for use.

KettlePizza Gas Pro Startup:
Use of the KettlePizza Gas Pro requires a gas grill with a grilling surface of
at least 17 inches deep X 24 inches wide. The product works best with grills
that have at least three burners.
1. Start gas grill following grill manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Place KettlePizza Gas Pro onto grill surface. Try to locate the gas
burners evenly under the unit and push to rear of grill.
3. Turn all burners to high and close grill lid if possible (Note: some grills
will not have the clearance to close the grill lid – this is OK).
4. Allow KettlePizza Gas Pro to heat up for at least ten minutes. You want
the steel of the KettlePizza Gas Pro to get as hot as possible. It is this
heat that radiates down onto the top of the pizza or food you that is
being cooked.
5. When the KettlePizza Gas Pro thermometer has achieved at least 500
degrees F place stone onto grill surface in the center of the unit and
push it back.
6. Allow stone to heat up for another ten minutes.
Congratulations! You are now ready to cook pizza!

KettlePizza Pizza Cooking Instructions:
Important Note: Be sure to use only KettlePizza brand stones as non-
KettlePizza stones may crack with the high temperatures achieved.
1. Test stone temperature by putting a couple droplets of water onto the
stone. If the water “dances” then the stone is at temperature. An
infrared thermometer is also handy for measuring stone temperature.
The goal is for the stone temperature to be 100-200 degrees F. less
than the chamber temperature measured on the Gas Pro thermometer.
2. Put a layer of flour on a clean flat surface and begin working an
approximately. 8 oz. ball of dough into a circle using your hands or a
rolling pin.
3. Take a pizza peel, coat it with flour, cornmeal or semolina and place the
dough on it. Add tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. Note: Using
fewer toppings will make sliding the pizza off the peel easier.
4. Using your pizza peel, slide your pre-made pizza into the center of your
cooking stone. This may take some practice as there is not much room
between the stone and Gas Pro top. Once the pizza is placed, you can
cook your pizza with the grill lid open or shut.
5. After around two to three minutes, you should rotate the pizza by 90
degrees, repeat this until the pizza is evenly cooked. KettlePizza

Spinners are available separately to help facilitate spinning and popping
bubbles in the dough.
6. After five to eight minutes, your pizza should be near completion. Check
the top and bottom to ensure that all sections are properly cooked.
TIP: If the top of your pizza needs extra heat you can lower or turn off the
burner(s) directly under the stone. You can also place a metal peel or pan
under the pizza. This will give you one to two minutes of extra cooking time
without over cooking the pizza bottom. Be aware that your metal peel will
get hot so wear cooking gloves! If your pizza bottom needs a little extra
crispiness feel free to place it right on top of the Gas Pro!

KettlePizza Gas Pro Cleaning Instructions:
1. Find a stainless steel cleaning solution and apply some to the outside of
your unit using a small towel or rag.
2. Scrub the polish onto your KettlePizza with a Scotch Brite™ pad – the
coloring should be noticeably cleaner almost immediately.
3. For older or more frequently used units the cleaning could take more
than one coat of polish.
4. Once the unit has reverted back to its original
silver appearance, rinse the outside lightly with water. You may also
choose to rinse the outside of your kettle grill at this time.
5. The heat tint (brownish color) on the unit will not go away, especially on
units that have been used repeatedly. This is normal and will not
damage your unit.

Aluminum peels are best for removing a cooked pizza from a stone,
however, many people use them for placing the uncooked pizza onto the
stone as well. The handle is designed so that it can be bent to an angle that
is comfortable for your use. Place the large part of the peel on a table and
gently lift the handle to the angle that you like. Don’t forget about the handle
bottle opener too!
Wood peels are best for preparing your pizza on and then sliding the pizza
onto the stone. Use corn meal or flour to make sliding off the peel easier.
Avoid leaving on hot surfaces as the wood will burn.
Hand wash your peel in warm soapy water. Rinse and hand dry. Never
wash in a dish washer.
KettlePizza Cordierite Stone Care:
KettlePizza stones are made of the highest quality materials and American
workmanship. They are hand made and may have slight imperfections that
will not effect cooking performance.
To clean, scrape off excess food with a spatula. When the stone has
cooled, run under got water while scrubbing with a brush. Do not use soap
on the stone as it may leave a soapy aftertaste. The natural properties of

the stone will cause it to darken or stain over time. Do not attempt to
remove the discoloration as it will not affect performance. Air-dry the stone
after cleaning.
