I go out to fire up the bge today and the plate setter is busted.
No idea what happened but while I was surfing for a new one,
I see they have a cast iron plate setter now.
Any of the brethren have one or have thoughts on one?

Where did you find it? Do you have a link? If it has the legs like the original I would think it should work great.

That's the one. Should be more durable.
I was wondering if there would be any cons.

After asking around a bit, for about 40 bucks more I think I'll get this.

Anybody else use one on their BGE?
Any input?

I use this on my BGE. The stone works great on indirect cooks, and the woo2 itself hardly ever comes out. My plate setter hasn't seen action in well over a year since acquiring this set up. I think the adjustable rig looks pretty sweet too!

I use this setup all the time. Can't remember the last time I used the platesetter. High-quality product from the CGS. You won't be disappointed.

Motherfarker!
I finally scrape up enough cash to order it and the spider and the shelves are out of stock.
I read that some folks have had success using JB weld on their broken platesetter.
I got it together and setting up right now. Anyone here try this?
