BakerStone O-AHXXX-O-000 Pizza Oven Box
The BakerStone Pizza Oven Box turns your outdoor grill into a pizza oven. By using this pizza oven box, it turns most 3 burner and larger gas grills into a glorified pizza oven. It is said that it works on large charcoal grills too. While it says it works with most 3 burner and larger gas grills, most of what we’ve heard is that it works best with 4 burners, as it takes too long to heat up before you can start cooking with the 3 burners.
Made out of carbon steel, it is said to raise the temperature of your grill to that of a real wood burning pizza oven. It takes about 30 minutes to heat up using a 4 burner grill and then you can cook your pizza and it should be done in a matter of minutes. Not only does this work for pizza, but you can also use it to bake bread, roast meats, fish, and vegetables. Following the instructions is a must, as with most things, but it does a really good job with pizza, as long as you warm it up enough first.

Just preheat for about 5 to 10 minutes and then pop the pizza in and it will be ready in 10 minutes. If you want your pizza to be less crispy, I would suggest not leaving it in for the whole 10 minutes, but for a crispy crust, 10 minutes is good.
