Art, my deck temp were not that high. I think they were from 500-600 for the most part. I did sputter out at the end, got too caught up in the pizza making and forgot to keep the pellets loaded. It worked out though. I will say it goes through the pellets quickly! I wonder if a different pellet would work better. I used cookiingpellets.com perfect mix. I noticed on UUNI's site, they sell oak pellets. I see that cookingpellets.com prides themselves on not using oak. I plan on making pizza again later in the week. Maybe a bbq chicken one. We'll see how round #2 goes.

RG,
I have been using hickory pellets from Lumberjack.  That fire is so hot that I'm not sure there is a pellet that will make a noticeable difference.  Whatever pellet you use will burn quickly.

I cook mine at pretty high temps. That is why I rotate them a quarter turn every thirty seconds.

I use cookin pellets perfect mix too. I usually can get 4 pizzas done on one load of pellets. That is not bad considering the heat produced and there is no air management like a pellet grill :P

Mike, that's probably about what I got, I loaded more pellets about half way through the cook. One basket full lit and added pellets to the "collar" on preheating, then made 2 pizzas and added more pellets to the hopper. It would've gone quicker but I made each pizza as I went along. Stretching dough, saucing and cheesing and topping then baking and cutting. Then on to the next, so I had a good bit of time in between. I did it this way because they say saucing a pizza ahead of time will make a soggy underdone crust. My wife was there but she wasn't helping, just watching, lol.

 A good site for a great bubbly crust is craftsy.com. Signup and then use their search at the top for pizza classes. You are looking for "perfect pizza at home". I use this for my pizzas and get lots of compliments on the bubbly rise of the crust. He has 5 follow along videos to perfect pizzas and sauce. You will only get a welcome email from them, no spam.

I was making my own dough with a recipe I found then I started using the fresh dough from Trader Joe's. It is really good and already made. You can freeze it too.

They all look good to me.

I got to try some Uuni pizzas at the Gathering in Georgia a couple years ago, and they were pretty awesome!

Many times I will make a 3-5 day cold ferment dough, ball up about 4-6 balls, and then I can use them for almost a week.
