I've had mixed results with pizza on my large BGE. I've had a few come out fantastic, but I can't seem to consistently nail the doneness on both the top and bottom. My problem is that I can't seem to keep the stone temp constant. With the right charcoal load, the dome temp is easy enough to control, but the stone keeps getting hotter. So let's say I'm aiming for 600-650F in the dome. If I cook three pizzas, the first will usually be a bit underdone on the bottom, the second will be just about right, and the third will be burnt.

I can see one thing I'm doing different from you. You have the plate setter with legs up. I've always placed mine legs down per instructions, and to give the fire more room. I use spacers to lift the pizza stone off the plate setter (with no grid). Your setup probably allows a lot more airflow under the stone, and I'll have to give it a try.
