    I just put the plate setter in legs down and sprinkle the top with cornmeal or I use parchment paper anyways to put my dough on and then slide it onto the back of a cookie sheet, if you do not have a peal then slide onto the preheated top of the plate setter.

    I have a Small BGE also. The pizza stone for the medium Egg fits the small just fine...

    I use platesetter feet down, then a grid then the medium pizza stone and I cook my pizzas on 12 inch pizza screens I got from Rest Depot...they work great...so go get a pizza stone for the medium

    Kim, air flow is OK around it? I have not used my med stone cause I was worried that i might fry my gasket by using it

    Yep the air flow is fine...now frying your gasket may be a problem :blush:

    just kidding...When we went camping a few weeks ago I made 6 pizzas on the small BGE all at about 450-500 degrees...

    A round kiln shelf makes a great pizza/bread stone for the small. New Mexico Clay makes one that is 10" in diameter and 3/8" thick (www.nmclay.com part# KS10R).

    I bought my small before a plate setter was available for it, and instead purchased Chubby's Grate Mates. I have several of the kiln shelves. My setup for pizza is to place one of the shelves on the Grate Mates ring above the lump as a heat deflector, and another on a grid placed on top of the tall Grate Mates grid supports, which puts it up into the dome and above the felt line.

    Old Dave turned me on to kiln shelves at New Mexico Clay about 4 years ago when I asked him for help making bread.

    I also have and use the BGE pizza stone for the medium, as Kim mentioned above.

    Good luck!

    Mr K, I use a medium stone along with a set of Grate Mates (the larger ones) and it works just fine on my small. I find I leave the Grate Mates in all the time anyway.
