Platesetter lifter - The Claw

caliking · February 2014

Saw this at a local hardware store that sells eggs. Thought it was pretty nifty, and would have bought one if I had a platesetter. I think it is for the large PS.

Note the JB Weld on the PS leg. Musta been from his first design. L-)

just buy some welding gloves at home depot for $8

hey, I don't mind spending money for something that does add value. But there is a whole market out there of add on's - that are way too expensive.

My grill gloves work just fine for this task.

if you want expensive, check out their grill light (which was also in the store. The light is <$5 at Harbor Freight. Their price for light + bracket was $38!! That's a pricey bracket.

Getting a hot setter out of the egg has always been an uncomfortable experience. Gloves, the claw and all kinds of home made tools have been "developed". I use a set of water pump pliers and my home made ash rake.

@Eggcelsior - came to mind when I read the OP, too many times through Toy Story with the grandkids...

This was my first thought...

Tough crowd. There's people who think the whole idea/price of an Egg is ludicrous. "Just go buy an $89 gasser. Cooks just fine" So much for someone TRYING to offer a better mousetrap.

They had some of those at the dizzyfest last year at the dizzy pig store in manasses va

After egging and reading about many options/opinions on how eggers handle the platesetter for five years, I'm leaning towards getting this

Bonus: it's available from a local dealer, no shipping, no customs hassle.
