Plate Setter for small egg

Unknown

I recently purchased a used small egg and have big dreams of doing some slow, indirect smoking, but have been told they don't make a plate setter for the small. Does anyone know if there is something comparable in use that I could get?

Livin' EZ,[p]We made a raised grid with stainless steel nuts and bolts and use a BGE 9" ceramic deep dish pizza pan. Line with foil and it works like a champ....[p]Tonia

Livin' EZ,
Check my website in the tips section, you can see a couple of ways to setup the small for indirect..In the cooks section you can see them in use also.[p]Wess

WessB,[p]How about a pizza stone? Would you use the 12" in the small or find an 8" stone? Would you use it with the indirect method setup you have?[p]

QBabe

Livin' EZ,[p]A 12" would block the airflow too much. You can use the BGE 9" deep dish pizza pan upside down...[p]Tonia

Livin' EZ,[p]The largest hearth stone that will work well in the cooker is 10" in diameter. As for indirect cooking, the use of a stone or plate setter is a very poor substitute for this type of cooking in any size of ceramic cooker. There are much better methods. [p]Dave
