I screwed up and dropped my conveggtor/deflector plate and it broke. Seems like I’m always struggling to find somewhere to temporarily set it when doing a sear. It’s so hot, I can’t just set it anywhere. Anyone else have the same problem, and any tips for temporary placement during this process? Also, I’m amazed at how porous the plate.

I’m on platesetter #3 in 10 years, shit happens
Get a cheap plastic push cart https://www.amazon.com/QWORK-Plastic-Utility-Lockable-Restaurant/dp/B0C7TPQGNV
with a heat matt or trivet and you’ll be fine
Get the Smokeware lifter on Amazon. It was a game changer for me.
this happened to me and i switched to a cast iron platesetter.
Get out your wallet son. I broke my first one in the first year of having my Egg (I’m about on year 10)
Looks like you got a patio right there, can you not set it on the ground?
I’m still on my 1st platesetter I bought in 2009. I place it on a turkey fryer stand when not on the egg. It has developed a very fine crack that goes from one edge all the across to the other edge and it can be seen be seen top and bottom. Due to that, I have recently started using a cast iron pizza pan from Academy Sports until I upgrade.
I keep a couple of 1X2’s in the bbq bin. Lay those out and the conveggtor on top of those. Gives enough space under for the gloves when I have to pick it up again.
I have the Kick Ash Super Lifter. https://kickashbasket.com/products/kick-ash-super-lifter
Hangs off any table and holds it really securely. Also makes it easy to pull it out when it’s hot. It’s great!
