All of my CI was bought at antique malls where you can find many different sizes for a small amount of dollars - and they've been well used and seasoned by someone else - they work great!

Something is wrong with the size of your grill or plate setter IMHO.
My guess is that you're right - but....I bought a medium BGE and the grill came with it - I replaced my original broken plate sett…

My gasket is about fried and I just got a new one so I'll be doing a clean burn myself for the first time. I'll put in the platesetter and my pizza stone, too.
If you put the plate setter in legs down and the on…
Eggcelsior - that's how they should fit - unfortunately, and I don't know whether this is just a problem on the medium or others also, it doesn't work that way on mine - I've sent an email to the mother ship but I doubt I'll get much in the way of r…
Well, you load up your BGE w/ coal, open up the vents and let her rip - some take the thermometer off the egg because they think it gets so hot that it will damage the thermometer - and, it may - I've gotten mine up to the point that the thermometer…

that's an old version grid trying to sit on a new version platesetter. Old medium version grid was porcelain (black) and 15" diameter. New grid is 15.75 dia. and stainless.

Same problem - it will fit but it will not completely cover the legs in the up position - you have to balance it with the grid being about half-way set on all the legs - just another reason I should h…

Had this problem with my medium and talked about it a month or so ago - the original plate setter I bought worked fine either feet up or down - it didn't have "ribs" on the outside of the legs. But I dropped and broke it so I bought a replacement w…

At least 2 problems -
1. you will fry your gasket and if you don't like smoke escaping from the area where the dome closes on the base, you'll have to replace it.
2. The last time I did a clean burn with the plate setter legs down, one of the legs …
Update on my situation - decided to try to repair the broken leg on the plate setter - didn't want to spend $30 - 40 on the Rutland cement and have a bunch left over so I bought their "Fireplace Mortar" - $6.99 - used it and cured it like directed -…

The way I read that, the recommendation for only using the plate setter with legs up has to do with frying the gasket - not that it has any adverse impact on the plate setterSomething of a rookie here,…
Interesting. Maybe that is something new the Mothership is doing so that we will follow their advice and only cook with the legs up so that we don't burn off the gasket. I'll have to check my placesetter to see if it has ribs on it but mine fits eit…
My platesetter has "ribs" on the exterior of the legs such as you describe. They appear to me to be cast into the unit to add strength. However, it fits into my large with plenty of room to spare. I'm betting that one of your legs broke due to heat …
I throw them on the grill, cut side down, with nothing on them for a few minutes - flip them over, brush on dressing and parmesan and leave for a few more - lets the cheese melt - I just do it at whatever temperature I've cooked whatever else I'm co…
Dip the lemon halves in sugar before grilling, then make lemonade, using a simple sugar with honey (1/2 cup each water, sugar, honey - heat until sugar dissolves then cool) for sweetener. A dozen lemons makes a good 3 quarts of grilled lemonade. G…
Pulled pork tacos - soft shell tortillas - the pork, heated up, BBQ sauce on it - cole slaw on top of the pork - wrapped up like a fajita - good stuff!!!
After two burned crusts at 550 - 600 degrees, I discovered the same thing - 450 with stone raised above grate on plate setter legs up for 10 minutes was the ticket
I fried my gasket within a couple of weeks after I got the BGE - ordered a Nomex High Heat gasket and installed it - did a clean burn to clean up a plate setter last week - Nomex may make a "high heat" gasket but "high heat" doesn't include about 80…
The only problem with not having a gasket is the same as having a fried gasket - it doesn't provide a seal and if you're smoking something the smoke will escape through the closure. But I don't think that's a big problem unless you just can't stand…
