WTB cast iron plate setter
Comments

I dont understand the purpose of a cast iron platesetter, other than aesthetics. The purpose of the plate setter is to deflect the heat up and around to the dome. I just don't see how a cast iron plate setter would accomplish this better.

As far as I can tell, the advantage to the CI platesetter is it is more durable than the ceramic version. Other than that, I think the use is the same.Flint, Michigan

The vendor selling it through amazon (Tasty Licks a.k.a Fred's Music & BBQ) sells it for $30 less on their website: http://www.fredsmusicandbbq.com/DELUXE_CAST_IRON_PLATESETTER_AND_GRIDDLE_FOR_18_D_p/tlpcipsl.htm $99 is the normal retailXL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Fred is selling the ones on Amazon (as TastyLicks) for $130. He's selling the same thing without Amazon (as brick and mortar Fredsmusicandbbbq) for $100. Prolly making a killing from the folks who think Amazon is cheaper for everything.The CI one is also a griddle. Ceramic is not.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

We picked this one up @ the "Sunshine Eggfest" in Florida.
We have used it for Ribeye Steaks and Salmon.
Excellent every time.
We have not used it w/ "legs up" yet.

Would be a good tool to sear steaks and such. I often put a CI skillet on my platesetter to do that, so this would save a step.Dave - Austin, TX

Thanks for the feedback folks. More evidence that Amazon is not always the answer, particularly if it is not "Prime" eligible.BTW, I really like the notion of having the ribs on the "legs up" side for keeping a catch pan elevated off the surface a touch.Alan in LA (Lower Alabama that is)"If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before!"

I picked up the CI PS from a local dealer and have used it only once so far .... to cook a smash burger on the griddle side. I did it legs down. I store it in a plastic container I purchased at Home Depot. I also slighly coat it with vegetable oil before I put it away.So far I do not see any rust, so hopefully a little coat of oil will maintain it rust free.LBGE & MiniOrlando, FL

That's good! You are in Orlando area..... you are in a high humidity area like me in Atlanta. That was my main concern. Is it just a regular storage box like a rubbermaid box? Pic please!!!this makes me feel a lot better about wanting the CI PS!thanks!

That suits my needs perfectly! I know I'll use it a lot since everyone around is asking for either pulled pork, brisket, or smoked turkey.....I'm not in a covered porch as of yet, but I think that in its box and shut up in a weather-tight enclosure would be perfect. If all else fails, it can come into the garage and sweat with my lump stash!!!!thanks for the info and help!
