Broke my platesetter

Hey guys
I broke my large size platesetter clean in half so I'm looking to get back into an indirect cooking setup as cheaply as possible. I do use a PSwoo, so I don't necessarily need the legs of the plate setter, could I get away with a ceramic stone? Any idea what size would fit on the tabs on the woo originally intended for the three points of the bge platesetter? I do often pull the whole PSwoo rig while cooking so would need something pretty stable.
thanks!!

I am just guessing by your username that you are a fan of The Prodigy?Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's

Depending on which Woo you have, you should be able just to use a ceramic stone, just measure how big you need.

For many years I used ceramic floor tiles stacked on the grid. They work just a well. I used 12 in and 6 in tiles. One would crack every year or so. But they were so inexpensive it didn't matter.

If you want to continue to use the PSwoo2 email Tom at CGS. They have a braces set-up to enable you to then use one of their stones on the PSWoo.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks @lousubcap and @Jeepster47 I did get the bracket and ceramic stone from cgs, worked great I did a test run on a thanksgiving turkey that went great...... But not nearly as great as my boys getting they last second win in Ann arbor tonight!!

Seems like the bracket mentioned above may enable you to use your broken plate setter on the woo againBarrie,Ont.,Canada.

You can glue the platesetter back together with JB Weld. Costs prob $5.Chester County, PA

Issue with JB Weld is that J-B Weld can withstand temperatures up to 550ºF when fully cured. Plate setter will be exposed to temps well beyond that. It will hold the plate setter together, but don't expect it to last.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Don't most people use platesetter for low'ish temp cooking? I glued mine back with J B weld and it has been perfect. probably stronger than it was originally. Can't think of a single cook where I have used platesetter at temps greater than 350-400 range.Upstate SC

I had my egg at 340 degrees for one hour while cooking wings. When I was done cooking the plate setter measured (with a Fluke IR instrument) 540 degrees ... and that's the top surface.

J-B Weld will absolutely work...I broke my platesetter three years ago, used J-B Weld to repair and have done clean burns up, pizza cooks, you name it and that platesetter is still humming with that J-B holding it together.

My PS has had a crack for more than 3 years now....when it breaks...I'm going to encase it in steel plates (1/8") and continue on....
