    Looks like I have a unique answer.  My table saw.  

    The cooking patio is also where my table saw sits.  It has a granite top, and has a metal cover to protect from the elements.  It's my "dirty / hot" counter.

    My open Weber kettle makes a great landing pad for the plate setter.

    So put together a little something with advice from a few people here. Put some rubber drawer liners down, grabbed some ceramic 2" x 12" pieces and laid down for an air gap then put 2 pieces of 1sqft granite tiles on it. 

    Assuming the the granite can hold the heat from the PS sitting on it after a low and slow for a reverse sear. Should I put legs down on it just in case?

    So many ways to solve this problem:
    Old grates from a replaced gas stove.
    Cast iron frying pan.
    Clay flower pot feet or water trays.

    The steel cooking grid you're not using because you're reverse searing on the cast iron grid.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    Where do I set mine? Down, really fast. Hopefully on something that doesn't burn or melt. Some days it goes well, some days not so much. I think I need to start paying closer attention to what I'm doing...

    Drink more, worry less. Some people have had some luck this way. Most, not so much. Play the percentages.

    I had an 18 inch ceramic tile I bought just for this purpose.  The first time I set the plate setter on it....BANG!  Guess that's why the air gap gets mentioned.  Now I have a couple of fire bricks up there and no problems at all.
