I've haven't worked with one personally, but I've been researching it for years and have watched countless videos.
The heat coming off a pizza oven's ceiling is distance dependent. The farther the ceiling is from the pizza, the less top heat the pizza is going to get. The ceiling height on the Weber is just too high for a balanced bake. The only way to get a fast balanced bake out of a Weber is to add a lower ceiling. What this means is that, unless you plan on buying your own steel plate to cover the kettle pizza, the only option is the top tier $400 model, and, for the bake times this is capable of, you'd be far far better off getting a $300 Ooni.
Now, if $300 is more than you want to spend, and you really want to work with the Weber, I'd get one of these.

This has the advantage of having a lower profile than the Weber, so, beyond the incredibly competitive price, the height is a big plus.
Now, like the kettle pizza insert, though, you're going to have to add a lower ceiling in the form of steel plate. You don't need a super thick slab of steel, just something thick enough so that it won't warp with the heat- 1/8" thick steel plate should be fine- you might even be able to get away with 1/16". A locally sourced 22 x 22 x 1/8 steel plate should be in the $40 realm, max.
What size is your grill? I think the 22" works better because of the extra space- ideally, you don't want any charcoal/any heat directly under the stone.
12", been doing 4 pies at a time when I fire it up and the thing still is hot for long after I'm done cooking so been adding smores for desert on a pan in there LOL. Might as well.

The fence should be crimped with pliers when you put it together and it has held up just fine inspite of others comments. I don't know for sure you need 10lbs each time if you use lump it runs hotter and stays longer. Even with minimal coals it hangs up there in temp. This last go we used mesquite lump cause Costco has a 40lb bag for $13 and it does indeed add a little flavor! Thought it cooked so fast it wouldn't be obvious in the end result.
Link for kit on Amazon
I think that is a yakitori grill (which is a type not a brand)
There are many brands and you can even buy them from amazon.com. For example:

I've got one of these for my Weber and I find that it works well as long as all of the heat is coming from around the stone and not from underneath the stone. Otherwise your pizza will burn on the bottom before the top gets cooked.
The kit I have includes a little mesh fence to prevent coals from going into the center of the grill, but I found that setting the stone on top of some bricks works the best. Just make sure the bricks are arranged so that air can pass through them or else it will take forever to heat the stone.
Another way to accomplish this would be to have the coals at the same level as the stone by putting them on the grate or another stone (similar to how a wood-fired oven works).
One flaw I see in your approach listed would be that not enough heat is going to get stored in the lid in order to cook the top of the pizza (even with the coals setup properly). I would keep broiler on stand-by to finish the pies in this case.
I hope it turns out delicious, cheers!
It's a hibachi, or yakitori charcoal grill. Something like this.
Looks like the charcoal fence is part of the package. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PP47H4S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got very lucky and acquired the grill portion of a stand grill box very similar to one of these but I don't know where one would go about purchasing just that part without the box. In any case it is easily my favorite.
I have the pizza que. it’s an adaption for the Weber 22 inch kettle grill. It makes great pizza and it’s fun if you are into the social aspects of cooking. It takes a lot of time and some practice and the pizza should be eaten right out of the oven while people stand around and socialize.
If that how you like to cook and entertain and if you like cooking challenges, I would say go for it. If you are just looking to make the odd pizza, likely not worth the investment.

Most of these have removable grates. Frankly, you can probably get the same effected with most small charcoal grills.
Be careful you might get some proposals overnight.
I've used my grill a couple times successfully.
If you want the stainless steel yakitori grill they use in Japan, follow the link below. It's the same grill I've been using for years and it's worth the money. Just be aware that binchotan charcoal is very expensive. You can get Sumi charcoal that can get you three-quarters of the way to the heat, but it can't quite replicate the white oak.

This is a grill on Amazon that looks like a fairly new offering and looks better made than most of the others I've seen on Amazon. I'd give this one a whirl. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07TN1BQSS/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_U\_cUJiDbYF8AQPE
It's this:

Insert for your Weber charcoal grill that turns it into a pizza oven. I mod it using a heavy duty foil under the lid to get it hotter.
Definitely because it was my first time using a charcoal smoker. Have always done electric... I got it on Amazon, it was $288 a couple of weeks ago when I bought it. http://www.amazon.com/Char-Griller-Kamado-Kooker-Charcoal-Barbecue/dp/B00GJEPP92

Has anyone tried this item for cooking pizza?

Obviously there are better cookers out there but for the price, this doesn't seem too bad.
Got to get to bed but if you like the Webber and are looking for something to last you until you graduate to a full size grill, I’d try this
Gotten great reviews and seems to be what you’re looking for. Still be sure to clean it well and actually wash/dry it out at the end of the season.
Try this one

Cheers man! Someone just gave me a 22" Weber kettle premium for my wedding present and i'm super excited about it too!
I usually like Lodge, but that looks unwieldy. This cast iron hibachi is 1/3 the cost and looks better designed.
First, get yourself a portable grill that you can learn the heat characteristics of and continue to get better on. My grandfather first showed me how to grill on a hibachi grill. Hopefully you have room for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Marsh-Allen-30052AMZ-Products-Charcoal/dp/B00D10RROS .
Public grills are ok, but they are not what you want to use if you are getting into this on a consistent basis and want to improve. You could benefit from something consistent.
How to grill? Check out amazingribs.com for grilling information.
Without a lid, smoking will be a challenge. I'd suggest the smokey joe from Weber if this is your goal. And don't stop at smoking meats, smoke spices too.
I smoke meats on my full size weber grill. Smoking them on a smokey joe is possible, but the heat control/consistency might be a challenge.
You can buy disposable BBQs from outdoor stores and Donki. Make sure the area you are in allows outdoor fires.

You're actually paying about $50 for propane starter. The rest of the cost is mainly in the table and cart, which in my opinion is extremely helpful when cooking. Weber Performer Premium
I moved from an all propane grill to this and I could go chimney only for starting if I needed to, but so far this summer I've really appreciated just being able to dump the charcoal in the baskets, turn on the flame and walk away.
Has anyone tried one of these grill-top pizza ovens?
I'm not looking to spend what I'd need to spend on an Ooni, like the larger capacity, and I'm tired of heating up my house with the oven on at 500F for an hour and a half. Skeptical, especially because this one is Pizzacraft, but thought I'd see if anyone else has had any luck.
Thanks!
The thing is basically this, but worse.
Charcoal grill, uses Coleman fuel to light the coals. Love this grill.

Alright. Go with the Master Touch, buy a Weber Charcoal Chimney, get some good gloves for handling charcoal. Don't worry about the Slow'n'Sear, just use the snake method.
That's really all you need.
Also, the Master Touch is on sale for $169.
