Would do you the pre-heat fire again? It definitely takes out any risk that the oven won't be ready -- but do you think it was useful? That's an interesting idea.

Do other folks do an early pre-heat fire?

I made all of the pizzas myself, but people got to watch and request toppings, which was cool. I was able to educate people about that "weird" mozzarella (the fresh variety, not bagged shredded).

I probably wouldn't do the pre-heat again. I had read about that on here, someone who had done a pre-fire the night before. Probably not necessary, but I figured the experiment wouldn't harm anything (other than some wasted wood).
