Substitute for plate setter?

[a-baum]

My 7 year old plate setter just busted in half. Looking for a replacement that ideally isn't $140. Any options? I do have a pizza stone I could use as a substitute but no way to suspend it over the fire while still using the grate for the food.

+1 on the Ceramic Grill Store. A great place to get accessories that fit and work very well.

Not sure if this would work, but its kind of a cool idea.

Cast iron?

There are a number of cheap options here.

Great suggestions. Didn't know about the cast iron one. But darn it if the XL model isn't sold out everywhere.

+1 for the Ceramic Grill Store. I use a woo and a round stone for indirect cooks. You can use the woo to cook raised direct or you can put a smaller grid in the lower ring to get the food close to the coals. Very flexible setup.

Ha....I have a CGS 3 leg spider and I never considered I could use it for indirect. I may not even need the woo ring but I really like the idea of the handles. CGS is awesome. I have their angl-l brackets and wok which I have made better stir fry than chinese joints. Might have to grab a smaller cast iron grate for the bottom of the spider as well.

Good advice above. In my medium I use a spider and a pizza stone. That gives me enough room I can get two layers.

Ditto on the woo and round pizza stone. This gets me low enough to get two racks on my medium egg, which is a great thing.
