I have a big "barrel-type" grill/smoker  which can be used either for 
grilling or for smoking (with the fire in an adjacent chamber instead of 
the main chamber).
For grilling,  I use natural wood charcoal, not briquets as it makes a 
hotter fire.
In one end I drilled 4 holes just above the edge of the hinged cover on 
each side and inserted a  2 inch long bolt and cinched it down with a 
lock-nut.  The ends of the bolts protrude far enough inside to hold one of 
those real shiny full-sized baking tins (cookie sheet).
After the coals are ready, I slide the cookie sheet into the top,  slide 
the prepared pizza onto the grill and close the lid.  The reflected heat 
from the  sheet pan  cooks the top as the bottom is baking from direct heat 
and it takes about 5  to 7 minutes to bake off a pizza.  Top and bottom 
browned, cheese bubbly, etc.   You can do it with the round dome type 
grills too, you just need a pair of tin snips..........The reflective pan 
should be about 5 inches
above the grill.
