Homemade pizza on the smoker is awesome

Been thinking of making a raised rack in my BBQ to support a stone pizza tray and give it a try!

I use a pizza stone in my old Oregon Traeger. 425˙ or hotter for pizza. Want to throw a bubbly brown on those. I actually use store bought frozen pizza dough and it works great.

Why a raised rack?

I have been wanting to do this but I misplaced my pizza stone if you can believe that!

Why a raised rack?

My thought was to centralize the pan so the heat is distributed evenly and not concentrated on the bottom of the pan.

As much as people dog on traeger, mine works really well. I will say, i only bought it because i got a 50% off coupon. Otherwise i was looking at a green mountain grill due to not wanting to spend over 6 or 700 dollars.
Malcom reed is good. i also watch a lot of bbq with franklin. Everything ive done his way has been delish.

I went and checked out a bunch of pellet grill combos and I've decided on this one. looks like a very well made and versatile unit. Cant wait to try some ribs or a pork butt or brisket on the pellet smoker.

I am interested in an offset pellet smoker and grill. Of course Traeger was the first brand to come to mind, but it sounds like other brands are better made. I have a propane gas grill, but am new to smoking. Any recommendations for an idiot proof medium sized smoker / grill?

First, get yourself educated about pellet grills (they're smokers, not grills really).
I would avoid the simple controllers that come on the cheaper pellet smokers.
Here's an educational piece to read and also they have a good collection of reviews.

RecTec https://www.recteq.com/ They make fine pellet grills/smokers.
I personally have a Pit Boss. https://pitboss-grills.com/wood-pellet/ It's pretty idiot proof and has a built in thermometer. Less than half the cost of a Traeger
