I tried it with my Weber gas grill. A dismal failure. The problem
seemed to be that the stone got plenty hot but the air above the stone
lost all of it's heat when the grill cover was opened. Raw top, burnt
bottom. The crust stuck to the stone. Big mess. At least I didn't get
burned. I see on Amazon that there are setups for use on gas grills
that have a metal base to raise the stone above the grill level. Dunno
how that will work. Your Kamodo grill may have better/different heat
retention properties than my Weber. I've seen fancy outdoor kitchens
with built in pizza ovens.

Why bother with apple wood? It's pretty subtle in the flavor department
and the pizza cooks very quickly. Save your apple wood for slow cooking
pork or chicken thighs.
