Lumpy_Coal 332 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I was able to make a platesetter/heat diffuser for my newly aquired mini bge. I first tried to use a small ceramic pizza stone that we have....used to have. I needed to trim some off the edges because it was too big. Well, that didn't go so well then I remembered I had a flat cast iron griddle that I got with one of my weber performers and I have never used it. So after some cutting with a jigsaw, a trip to the store for a new blade, some more cutting and some grinding....viola! I even have enough to do a half shield like a mini divide and conquer. Now for some seasoning and away we go!Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk HeavyG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lumpy_Coal 332 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ya I know but I'd also need a new fire ring. This didn't cost me a thing and does the same job. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vanole 131 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Read through this whole thread @Lumpy_Coal great iniative with original homegrown plate setter. I gave my mini to my nephew years ago. He uses it alot. When you bought the new platesetter did it require a new ring to sit in grooves? Or did you just replace to have new? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It did require a new ring as the design was different to accommodate the legs and I just wanted a new one. I’ve seen post in the bge forum where a guy uses an extra ring to raise the grill up more. I wanted to try this plus my original ring although was still together did have a crack. I also saw in another post where someone modified his old ring to accommodate the square legs of the platesetter. For the small extra price of the new ring, I opted to get another. It is only a mini after all, parts are cheap when compared to the big eggs. Vanole 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
