Plate Setter Cleaning
No. 1, is it necessary to clean the plate setter after indirect cooking? Mine gets a lot of drippings that build up on the surface. No. 2, if cleaning is necessary, what is the best way to do it? I know you are not to use cleansers and cleaning it in plain hot water is difficult.

It isn't neccessary to clean it unless you are getting off flavours from it or placing food on it directly. Just do a clean burn with the goo side down to clean it.

If I have something that is going to drip when using the plate setter I just cover the plate setter with aluminum foil.

I dont clean mine. If it gets drippings on it, by the next cook they are usualy baked off on their own.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

If you got drippings when you cooked legs down, then cook some pizza with the platesetter legs up ! Pizza cooking is really a good cleaning session. and it really good :P

I always go "legs up" and use a drip pan wrapped it foil, whether it be low & slow, chicken/turkey/ham, pizza, etc. Then just throw the foil in the garbage and everything is clean.
