I REALLY need to try this. My wife loves strombolis and calzones.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Happy wife, Happy life.

[@DW-ph2xg]

Always stay real. Well done Captain., Ron

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey, thanks so much!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey, thanks so much, I really plan on it!

[@johntomlinsonsr8590]

Cptn Ron I am really enjoying your videos. I have to remember to watch them after I eat, because they make me hungry!

[@CptnRon302]

Thanks so much, that’s the greatest compliment there is!

[@HardAssetsFTW]

Mad respect for leaving the “oops” in. When you tangle up…tango on! I’m sure they were delicious! Thanks

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Yes sir, real life happens around here too.....

[@mikecarducci1332]

I've had my BGE for close to 10 years and all I have ever cooked on it were steaks, chops and finer cuts of meat. I just received my place setter/insert and pizza stone and looking forward to doing some baking and smoking. Thanks for the video(s)

[@FOGOcharcoal]

You are very welcome! Let me know f you have any questions

[@gahawg767]

Your "bloopers" just motivated me to try my first calzone. So glad you didn't make a 2nd video with them coming out perfect. If you had, I would've been intimidated and probably not motivated to try them.. Go Capt Ron...!!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Honestly, they come out right about 1/2 the time for me. I tend to overstuff them.

[@HopCop56]

Thanks for the videos. New to BGE and I look like a pro with all your tips. You do a great job explaining everything.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

That's great Billy. Welcome to the addiction. I'm so glad you're finding them useful.

[@lifewithcharlesandleah]

Great Video, I appreciate the fact that you are completely honest and truthful.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Well thank you! Sometimes it doesn't go as planned....

[@csstechguy7554]

Been there, done that...many times. Bravo for leaving it the way it was. There are too many videos that try to be too perfect.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Thank you, we try to keep it real around here!

[@matthewhartup941]

Like Bob Ross said, "we don't make mistakes - we have happy accidents"

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Happy AND delicious accidents.....

[@cannonsbbq]

Loved it, those look amazing Cap.

[@NeilSarap]

Nicely done Ron!

[@CptnRon302]

NeilSarap Hey Neil, thank you sir!

[@paulvalenzuela522]

Great Job, Looks awesome and can't wait to try it. Love the honesty.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Thank you Paul, we try to keep it as real as possible

[@BigSteve93015]

The calzone blew its Fun Gasket. That's what happens when too much goodness is reached too quick. Blindfold taste test would still give you an A+.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Haha, I like your reasoning Steve!

[@sheilacarter7915]

Thanks for the video!!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

No problem!

[@MilkyPants88]

Love these pizza videos. Making some for friends for NYE tomorrow and I’ve learned a lot! Glad I found the channel

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Awesome! Thank you! We are glad that you did too!

[@carenmarks4980]

You do a great job on your videos!!!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Thank you so much! That means the world

[@mark02tj41]

Even exploded, they looked pretty tasty! Keep these videos coming!!

[@CptnRon302]

Mark 02TJ Well thanks Mark, I really appreciate that!

[@basis2308]

Excellent vid!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Well thank you!

[@luisalbertodiazdiaz5348]

El vídeo se ve perfecto .Todo los colores maravilloso. El lo hace cada vez mejor. Felicidades a tu equipo..están creciendo

[@CptnRon302]

Hey Luis, thank you so much for always being so supportive!🙏

[@rodneydeal6185]

Great presentation - very helpful

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Thanks Rodney, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@alisongarcia4763]

Looks awesome! Even the explosion one! And that would be my favorite. I love ham and pineapple.

[@CptnRon302]

Alison Garcia I cannot tell a lie, it was still delicious!

[@bryankeith7785]

Thanks!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

You're welcome!

[@carenmarks4980]

Great videos-so excited to try pizzas and calzones!!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Excellent Caren, let me know if you need any help!

[@carenmarks4980]

You could bake cookies or bread in a video or those garlic knots you talk about. Or beef Wellington

[@FOGOcharcoal]

@@carenmarks4980 Ohhhh, I like that beef wellington idea!

[@Mister_Portal_USMC]

Bacon and pineapple is better with giardiniera. Salty, sweet and spicy together. Actually pretty good but that's the only combo I enjoy pineapple with. You can also use jalapenos or any other pepper that you like.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey, I really like that idea!

[@nuggetfinder63]

Love your videos! I am fully certified and as EGGspert on the Big Green EGG and with my LARGE EGG made your pizza and calzone recipe! It was amazing!

[@RumandCook]

We don't speak of individual calzones in my house.. go big or go home 😂 Looks good!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Oh, we like the way that you think!

[@srcesq]

How about how you would clean off the leaked calzone stuffing off of the stone?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Just let it burn off after done cooking.

[@rossduff7957]

Can I flip the diffuser and use it as the first pizza ceramic then put the ceramic pizza plate on it.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I wouldn't, it will heat the stone too much

[@lifewithcharlesandleah]

Captain Ron does the dough for the Calzone and the dough you use for Pizza contain the same ingredients? I'm asking because the Calzone has to rise more than a Pizza does.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I use the same exact dough. Calzone dough is thin

[@tomphillips8565]

That is a great idea and looks to be very tasty. Although I was unable to understand what was in the plastic container, as one of your ingredient. Do not be concerned about one breaking open. At times it happens to the best.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey Tom, yes, sometimes it just doesn't work the way we would like it. But hey, that's real life. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@davejonas3107]

Great video really liked it do you think it blew open from all of the moisture from the pineapple?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I believe it definitely contributed...

[@raycrouch6193]

2 out of 3 aint bad. LOL

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Haha, win some, lose some....

[@stevenarnold4567]

Do you use the ConvEGGtor with the two pizza stones?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Yes, absolutely, with the legs up. I have kind of since changed the way I set it up. Instaed of 2 pizza stones, i'll now put my conveggtor from the minimax on the grate, and then a pizza stone on top of that, It has worked out great for me. Any way to raide the stone up off of the grate will work.

[@roninfl]

Why do you use 2 pizza stones? Thanks

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey Ron, great question. It was originally to get the pizza higher in the dome. I now use a conveggtor instead. It helps the top of the pizza cook better.

[@bradnesmith9377]

where did you get or I can order the big fat green egg handle you have on the egg? thanks-

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hi Brad, it is from JJGEORGE. They can custom make almost any design you’d like

[@danny19201]

Sebastián retire from making the videos? 😬

[@CptnRon302]

The business has been keeping him very busy right now but wanted to continue to provide you with FOGO videos. I hope you’re enjoying!

[@francisagosh2175]

Disaster that was the pizza god saying no pineapple no ham!!!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I'm with you on pizza but it makes a killer calzone. I was shocked the first time.

[@FigaroHey]

Pineapple with garlic, basil and oregano. Excuse me while I go vomit.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

We will wait here until you return......

[@francisagosh2175]

You lost me when you said ham and pineapple

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Try it, I'd almost guarantee that you like it....

[@libsrcrazy9634]

Bend that brim brother. Flat brims are lame

[@FOGOcharcoal]

LOL, ok. I honestly never really wear hats. My head is too fat
