Plate Setter

Should I replace my broken plate setter or purchase something else?

I replaced mine and hardly use it.  lately seem to grab the Woo with a pizza stone for my indirect cooks. Woo also gives me more options

Before you decide, give this link a look:
https://ceramicgrillstore.com  And if you are confused, give them a call and they will sort out what you need for your style of BGE cooking.  
You can do much better than a replacement PS.  FWIW-

Depending on how many you cook for I'd go the woo n stone route.  I have the Woo3 (that I cut the spider off of) and if my PS broke today I would just by a pizza stone from CGS and be done with it.

I like my plate setter. I don't have anything else that does what it does so I would replace mine.

I use mine all the time.

I have the woo2 and stone for my xl.  I also have a ps with a big crack that will eventually fail.  I went back to my ps for pizza and large indirect cooks like large brisket or multiple butts.  when it fails, I'll probably see if I can get a bigger stone for the woo2, but the one I have doesn't seem to give me enough shadow for some cooks - pizzas were burning on the bottom, etc.

I have the Platesetter and I like it fine, but I think I am going to get the WOO and buy the 15" Ceramic Half Stones Pair.  This method gets more indirect coverage using the "pair" of Stones and lots of times I wish I had the ability to do mixed direct/ indirect.

Gap using standard platesetter with PSWoo


Lesser Gap- More Indirect Space with Woo and Pair of Stone

I have a Woo and a stone for my XL. I really like the set up and it is easy to change from indirect to direct mid cook. i.e. if I'm cooking thick steaks, I'll cook indirect until they are 15-20 degrees below my desired doneness, then remove the stone and put a grid on the lower ring to sear. 

CGS has nice well built products with great customer service.

Woo and pizza stone is a much better option.

What setup for the woo would you recommend?

My order from the Ceramic Grill Store is arriving Wednesday.  Choosing the right option is confusing.  I ended up going with:

• Large Adjustable Rig with Crossbars
• 13" x17" Oval Stone (15" Half Stones Optional) on Rig's lower setting
• 13" x 17" Oval Grid with Slide Guide in the Rig.
• Rig Extender.
• Second 13 X 17" Oval Grid

This is the setup shown in their rib video.  I was drawn to the longer stones for doing brisket (or ribs).  

You could get by as minimally as the large woo ring and the 13" stone.  There are a lot of options.   

I still have the plate setter, so I can play with different combinations. 

Edit: It looks like you can just visit their store.
