Old Sarge said the Ooni people told him to always use the chimney even when using the gas burners. Wife was away, I shall play. I can't mess up the way my wife likes pizza so I need to do my experimenting when its just me.... which is almost never.
I made 3 pizzas, 2 margarita style and 1 margarita with pepperoni. All three had whole canned tomatoes pureed with a stick blender after adding some roasted garlic oil, salt, and a few basil leaves.
The chimney gave me better control without burning the top of the pizzas. the sauce I prefer to the jars Rao pizza sauce. While the jar is pretty darn good, I'm a simple man, and the thinner puree of tomato was good for me. As always I made the dough 2 days in advance, flour, water, salt, yeast, and a spoonful of sourdough starter. (
