Plate setter legs up or down?

DaveEGG · March 2015

I'm brand new to Eggs, getting my new Large BGE Saturday. So far I have made meatloaf, baby backs, and chicken. I'm not sure I get the concept of plate setter legs up or down. When do you use with the legs up, when down? Does it make much difference?

99.99% of the time i go legs up. The only time I've ever gone legs down is when making pizza. With the legs down you are deflecting the heat right into the gasket and you are going to fry it much quicker. With legs up you are able to put a drip pan on top of the plate setter. Just my two cents.

I go legs down anytime I am using it with a pizza stone for baking. Pizzas, breads, pies, etc.

Always Legs up for me.

Legs up. On top of the platesetter, place a pizza pan covered in foil as a drip tray. I use 2 nuts and 2 bolts as spacers between the platesetter and drip tray.

Legs always up, unless I'm baking a cake.

I'm a Legs Up for just about everything except for Pizza / Baking as well. Anything smoked or low and slow is legs up for the drip pan.
