Mini Mod #2: The "+"
Options

If this could work for The Artist Formerly Known As Prince:
Then "+" should work out just fine for my mini mod #2.
It basically works like the mini woo ring, but the finishing has that "made in my garage" chic to it. Took a 1.5" aluminum flat bar (1/8" thick, $8.34 + tax at Lowes) and put my superior bending skills to work.
Bought the 8.5" pizza stones ( 2 for $30) from Amazon.
So now I have a raised indirect setup for about $22 ($7 in aluminum + $15 for the stone).
I'm quite pleased with myself. planning on cooking breakfast on it tomorrow morning.
Hope everyone is off to a great start for the Memorial Day weekend. I'm working on Monday, so have to squeeze in the egging tomorrow and Sun.
A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Your insane man. Insane.
But I'm stealing these and doing a woo on my small!!_______________________________________________XLBGE -
One caution. The melting point for aluminum is (iirc) around 1,200 F, and if you do margherita-style pizzas you can hit that temp pretty easily (I normally cook them ~800-900 F). I think I remember some folks here wrapping the temp gauge completely around the dial, so the Egg is capable of getting that hot._____________

Whups! I re-read your post, and it looks like you were shooting more for a way to cook indirect on the Mini, not necessarily making pizzas (I guess the Mini might be good for doing a single-serving pizza. Just one. )._____________

@MCN: Should work for the small too. I use 2 bricks wrapped in foil, clay saucer and a weber grid for an indirect setup on the small.@Botch: you're right - aluminum does stand a chance of melting in an egg if its in nuclear mode. Neaopolitan pizzas can be done at 750-800°F and above, but I usually like to do pizza at about 550-600°F. Besides, I would likely be using the small or large egg if I was making pizzas.If the + gets junked that's ok. I would probably just buy a mini woo ring in that case. Its an idea i had, and I like to tinker, so the + was born.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
