Setting up an indirect cook and I dropped the grid with the raised post on it onto the plate setter and broke it. The post broke from a one foot fall. Had to quickly rig an alternative indirect solution. Turkey breast is now on.

Been there, JB Weld will fix this, and as stated just above me - time for a Woo. You'll never touch your PS again.I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.

Sounds like a good reason to go all the way and get the AR and stone.

Don't beat yourself up. There are two ConEggverters out there. Broken, and gonna be broken.

It says JB Weld can stand up to 550
degrees. That won’t last on a pizza

I still don't get the logic... I have an XL Adjustable Rig and cut off the vertical legs of the platesetter to fit. I like the extra surface area the horizontal leg pieces add (similar as the oval stone).
If it broke, I'd buy another BGE platesetter as it has a 5 year warranty (I believe) and chances are that I would break it again in that time period.

By the looks of that break, it had been cracked most of the way through for quite some time. Sorry for your loss.Michiana, South of the border.

I am in agreement with the AR Setup from Ceramic Grill Store. I have a cracked plated setter and a new one in the box. I use the Woo or spider with Pizza stone from CGS.

If that's a large, PM me your address... I'll send you another platesetter (over 20 years old but hasn't been used in the last 7 or so since I got my PSWoo).

I'm gonna cut the old one up and fashion it into a half round indirect stone. Been wanting one of those anyway.I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.
