Hot Platesetter Storage

Hi, I have a large with a platesetter and I was wondering what to do with it, if you change to direct cook with a very hot grill?
I thought of making a rack that could be used for cooling and for storage.

Freddy,
Great idea. I should get one. Are they expensive?

I generally shun the environmental movement because that leads to driving "clown cars" and I'm a big guy. However, the tree huggers are big into "re-purposing" and that's what I did. This gasser has never served me so well.Flint, Michigan

I have a set of wire shelves next to my egg and I set it on a shelf to cool if I need to take it out... or I just set the whole Woo3 rig with it in it on the top shelf...

I use a galvanized bucket for ash removal. I set a hot platesetter on top of the bucket until it cools enough to carry it to the old gasser for storage.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

I've tried to come up with something for that myself. Not just for storage but a tool to get the darn thing out when changing over to an open fire grill. Hard to believe that the "eggPeople" haven't come up with a gadget. So I use mitts to get it out and then place it on a 16"x16" stone paver to cool it off. I have run cold water on it but I'm probably lucky that it didn't crack. Would love to hear more suggestions.

Wherever you put it do it fast, I have a metal table next to my egg that I sit it on

I have one of these in my garage and I just store it in the middle cabinet part after allowing it to cool a bit.

I just stand it on its side on the concrete. Doesn't need to rest against anything, it balances on two legs. I've never had it fall over...maybe I'm lucky.

I like to juggle with it, the DMFT, and the rain cap until it cools. I'm not very good; it's an expensive hobby.
(seriously, I just put it on a slate paver) -
@Eggcelsior: I used to light my charcoal chimney over a slate paver a while back. It disintegrated after a dew sessions. The platesetter probably doesn't get as hot as that so I guess you're okay.
When I had a platesetter (all of 2 weeks) I used to set it on top of said charcoal chimney to cool down. No the charcoal chimney did not have lit charcoal in it#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I use a pair of long narrow (actually remnants) pavers on the bottom shelf of my egg table. The tricky part is just getting it out when hot.
-
Yeah. Legs down limits the contact and creates air circulation. Plus it's easier to sit on to warm my butt when it's cold outside.

I use a Woo2, i just grab it by the handles with welding gloves on and set it in my gasser.

I have the official BGE cypress table for my XL and placed 4 fire bricks on their sides on the lower shelf. The platesetter, pizza stone, SS grid or the CI grate (2 piece hence the 4 bricks) can be place atop with no damage to the shelf due to the gap for air flow. I must admit to using the old Weber for temporary cooling space at times.A poor widows son.
