With COLD weather here or on the way there is a need to warm the plate(s) the cooked food will be placed on when taken off the pit..It was once said,puting hot food on a cold plate is criminal.
How many of you warm the plate(s) using the pit to do so when it is cold outside?
-
I've never warmed the plates. I should start.

Paul, at this point in the game it is up to you!

It seems to me that warming them in a pit would take a long time, does it? I usually just fill the sink with really hot water and let them soak about 5 minutes and quickly dry right before serving.

Sounds easy to me.

At serving time I'm usually flitting around like that drop of water my mother used to put on a griddle to see if it's hot. I doubt that I'll remember but I think I should start.

My PG500's flat top is probably close to the pit's internal temperature. Plates would WARM there.

Just remember to take them off before you lift the lid.

But if you have 8 plates to warm, how would you do that on the top of the pit?

Plates in our house will be room temp!

On my PG500 I might be able to get four in a zig-zag. Stacking and covering them with a soup pot might work. Not doing anything is most likely since I'm often cooking for 10.

It doesn't get cold enough here to warrant heating the plate very often. Thankfully! Y'all can keep the cold. Rather sweat than be freezing

To the best of my knowledge the food has never been on my plate long enough to get cold...
