    What size grate

    Yep, it's a cheapo, that's why its at deer lease. Thanks for the input fellas, I was leaning towards 16", so 15-1/2" sounds right. Its been at lease for 4 years and gets the job done. We have a couple others, but all are usually in use at same time.

    cleaning pit questions

    Bout the only thing I clean on mine is the grates before each use. Hose out the bottom of my cooking chamber a few times a year. Oh and I do take a plastic bristle brush to the lid at times as well.

    Smoked Pizza on 22.5" WSM

    I've made pizzas on my Weber and were really great, but have only used store bought pre-made crusts. Not really into baking, kinda lazy on that part. But will give your recipe a try soon. By the way, what is EVOO?
