Clean burn & retro use of damaged plate setter

I think I have less than 25 cooks on my large, so I'm probably not ready for a clean burn just yet. Being on the forum is such a learning process for me. It's great information. I can't do one until I change the gasket on my Smokeware cap. I wasn't aware that the gasket should be attached to the cap itself rather than the top of the egg. (Which was where the gasket was for the damper when I purchased the egg. I was educated by Ron that it was necessary to attach the gasket to the cap so,that when a clean burn was done, you could remove both the cap and gasket at same time eliminating a gummy mess. Thanks Ron..... So, how hot should a clean burn be, and what is the appropriate duration? What should be left in the egg while you're doing the burn? I probably could have saved myself some money by spending more time on the forum prior to making any accessory purchases. I would have just bought an AR and be done with it. As it was, the store told me a plate setter was a necessary accessory. I bought one.....used it for a short period of time, dropped it and broke one of the legs off. Bought another one ( mistake) oh well......so now I purchased a pswoo2ci and a large 3-legged spider. I also have 3 fired brick thingies that keep flower pots an inch or so off the ground to allow water to drain. They will allow me to,put a 13" grid on top of my 18" grid and move up into the dome a little. This allowed me to try and repurpose the damaged plate setter. I used my high rpm diamond edged ceramic saw to cut off the other 2 legs and neaten things up a little.....Can I now use this as my 13" pizza stone, or is a little too thick for this use? If it is, I can always use it as my indirect piece on the large spider I guess...thanks for any thoughts!!
