Indirect set-up for my small Egg (suggestions pls)

Options

I know this question has been answered dozens of times but I couldn't find the threads.  I picked up a new to me small Egg about 6 weeks ago, only used it a couple times (back surgery 2 weeks ago, haven't done much of anything lately).  I'm feeling better now and want to be able to smoke on this thing but would like to see all my options.  As always, thanks for the wealth of knowledge.

    I have a platesetter and recently bought a small woo with 2 pizza stones from ceramicgrillstore.com. One stone for indirect, the other for pizza. I wish i hadn't bought the platesetter.

    You can use a platesetter or the Ceramic Grill Store's Woo & 10" baking stone (or something else like a drip pan to create a heat barrier). Here's a link to the narrative on the Small Woo: http://www.ceramicgrillstore.com/small-a-mini-woo2.html

    I bought my woo and stone from CGS. I purchased my 13" CI grid from a merchant on eBay as it was the best price I could find anywhere.

    Since you're going to make a CGS purchase, pick up a spider too so you can sear right over the lump on your large.

    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    $60.00 for the Woo...then $30.00 for the stone...OUCH!  Do these things ever go on sale or have coupon code?

    That's what i did. I wanted 2 stones. One dedicated for indirect & one for pizza. It was pricey, but I like the setup. The stones are great quality!

    IT's done!!!  $103.00 later and the Small Woo and the stone are on the way... held off on the spider but I do need for my wok and searing down low.  Once I get this paid for I'll grab the spider and the 13" CI grate.  Thanks for the tips guys.
