We splurged for a pizza stone. It is a little easier to handle than the big plate setter, and it came with a wooden pizza peel all for just $13 at our favourite BBQ store. To use the stone, just sit it on top of the plate setter, and remove (using gloves or oven mitts) when done. Do not wash the stone.
Bread is fantastic in the Big Green Egg - it comes out with a nice crispy crust. Make sure the coals are going well - we usually put bread on after the main stuff is cooked. Make a round loaf and place it on the greased or floured pizza stone.
Cook at around 375 - 400, for about 45 mins to an hour or so, or until you think it is done. This will depend on how large a loaf you are making and what shape - I like a nice round loaf. I like bread that doesn't have any sugar, with a pinch of herbes de provence added to the dough.

Turkey
Believe it or not, turkey can be delicious and moist cooked on the Big Green Egg. We used this recipe to cook our Easter turkey, plenty of sugar maple charcoal, and a combination of apple and cherry wood for the smoke. For herbs we used fresh tarragon and thyme - that's all we could find at the grocery store. It was fantastic - one of the best turkeys I have ever eaten, and the breast meat was moist and not dry.
