So now I have a brand new BGE XL sitting in my garage with a bag of BGE chunks they gave me for buying this weekend, and 3 rib racks sitting in my fridge with a healthy dose of my rub on them, I'm wondering now if I need something between the ribs and the coals, I'll only be doing ribs Monday. I didn't get the plate setter and not certain the one I saw was for the XL anyway but now I'm thinking I should have investigated it further. I do have time to go tomorrow when they open (the ribs are for dinner) and see if they have one for the XL but is it really necesary to have it or a drip pan or something there? If they don't have the plate setter for the XL I'll have to jury rig something if I need it but the ribs need to be on between 1-2:00.
