What to do with the plate setter / BBQ mat

GrillinSailor

When doing a Reverse sear, I have to take the grill off and remove the plate setter.  My egg sits on a composite deck made out of a plastic like material. It looks like wood, but would probably melt if I put a hot plate setter on it. What do you use to set a hot grill or plate setter on To avoid burning your deck.?

I also have prep table i bought at Sam's years ago that has a stainless steel top that i set hot things on.

My third option is have a homemade raised great where I put a cast iron skillet under it, then when steak gets to 110, I pull all, get egg to over 500 and sear the steak.  If you have wooden side tables the should handle the heat of the skillet.   The side grates are nice for storing pizza stones and grates.

This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/Behrens-1210GS-10-Quart-Galvanized-Steel/dp/B000NNKWCU

I also have a pair of old metal baking trays that work well.

id search craigslist for an old piece of granite to use as a hot plate.

Quick and dirty while you figure this out is to use a concrete block to set it on top of.

Whatever you sort out-make sure you have the landing zone fully prepped to receive before you start the evolution.

Upon further review- you could buy another BGE.

First picture is the Platesetter Receptacle in Resting Position; Second Picture is Platesetter Receptacle in Delivery Position.  Lots of storage underneath for other BGE accessories.  Kind of pricey, but it predated my egg and I have to use it for something.

This is one of the many things blackstone griddles are for. Especially ones with the stainless covers from @Tspud1
