Sorry for the thread bump.
Brian, thanks so much for posting this method and the set-up you used.
I just got a KP yesterday, and want to use it very soon.
That CI griddle looks nice, but, I think I will need to use an alternative, as it may be tough for me to find one like that.
Your suggestion should work just fine.
I think for my first try, I will go with the baskets at the rear with 1 or 2 slabs of wood. Then progress from there for future pie cooks.
Thanks again!
