Raising plate setter

tybish · October 2012

What have you all used to raise your plate setter? Any certain kind of brick? Need to get my pizza up higher in the dome so I don't burn the crust!!

Buy the cheapest pizza stone you can find. Do ps legs up with the grate on top of the legs. Put ur cheap stone on the grate. I got a stone and peel for $16 and they work awesome.

If you go for bricks, any kind will work.

I don't use a plate setter but like Travis said a pizza stone raised high. If high you don't need the platesetter.

it's easier to raise your grid than to raise your platesetter. you can either get another grid and do platesetter legs up, grid/bricks/2nd grid or do legs down, bricks on platesetter grid on bricks. Clear as mud?

+1 with Cen-Tex on raising the grid. BTW- I " agreed" with his post and from what I can tell anything as a result of that exercise is in the "ether".

Any certain bricks that should be used ? Thanks for the info I'm bound and determine to not burn my next pizza!

I do mine PS up with a raised grid on BGE stone.

any bricks will work or you can use a rig like henapple or put some beer cans on the bottom or grid or......well you get the idea. There are as many ways to do as there are people on this forum. FWIW, I cook my pizza on a stone on the grid with platesetter legs up. My crust does not burn. you could just lower the temp a little and make it easy on yourself.

I tried to cooking on a stone with ps feet up....crust always burned. I guess half the fun is experimenting!

Yeah, but at what temp?

Right around 500

Ok- try to raise it then. I cook around 500 and have no issues. probably the difference in the crust we each use.

I wonder what dimensions my bricks should be

R2Egg2Q · October 2012

I put in a PS legs up, grid, and the Woo from my Small or my lump reducing ring from my XL on the grid to lift the pizza stone about 3-3.5" above the grid/felt line. A standard brick on its side should give you around 3 5/8" of lift which would be fine.

I've done both of these also. If you do a lot of pizzas invest in a Woo, because it is simple for raising the pizza and has many other uses.
