Plate setter left out in overnight light rain

I don't have a cabinet for all my "stuff" so I usually store it in my egg. My gasser is a long walk away, so I take my unused stuff for this cook and spread it out on the concrete.
Last night (no beers involved) I didn't go out and put things away when I was done. This morning I noted that it had rained some. My biggest concern was my plate setter.
I placed it in my cold oven and then turned the oven to "keep warm". Should I leave it there for most of the day and call it safe?
I plan on doing a brisket tomorrow during the day, so I need my plate setter.

Thanks for any opinions.

Hi Scott, don't worry all is well they will absorb moisture even from the air when it is humid. If it was soaked and wet then I would not put it on an established hot fire but you should be fine ;0 but you can turn off the oven

Never left mine out in rain but did leave sitting out one night in near 100% humidity.
It was dripping wet in the morning.
Brought it up to temp slow on the Egg and it's still going strong today.
Cook away.

Thanks everyone.
I'm a little sensitive as the last time I used my pizza stone I cracked it. It was a cheapy tho.
I turned off the oven will move forward.

Outdoor egg storage cabinet is in the works.

Can’t say for sure BUT…
The very first cook I did (a smoked turkey) I had both temp. and moisture troubles. The bird turned out very nice, but I fought to keep the temp. up with EVERYTHING wide open and actually had moisture dripping from the bottom vent at one point.
A bit different than your scenario…I got caught with all the innards (fire box, fire ring and plate setter) out in an all day / all night rain…Putting it together that morning for the cook.
My thought is / was that everything had taken on too much water.
I now try to keep everything dry.
As to your concern: I don’t think you have to worry about hurting anything. My parts are still in one piece!

Hi, the pizza stones that are not the egg ones or really heavy duty do not fare to well. a lot of P Chef ones have bit the dust on an egg. just not meant for those high temps

I store some of my things in my gasser with a cover over it. I have noticed that when it rains for a week solid, the next time I throw it in the egg it takes a little bit for the egg to heat up. I figure it's struggling a little bit trying to dry the stone out.

My platesetter sat out overnight in the cold pouring rain along with my pizza stone two days ago. Last night was pizza night. I put both platestter and stone in at around 350. Temp dropped to 200. After 5 mins up to 250. After 10 mins 250, after 15 mins still 250! I lifted the lid to see what was happening and got a steam bath. The temp didn't move until I'd driven all the moisture off.

Stone and platesetter were just fine - after they dried out - and pizza as always was just awesome.

My wife says I have to stop making it because she can't stop eating it!
