I've been researching pizza pans for drip pans and wonder what ya'll think might be the optimium pan depth. I find several styles that range from 3/4, 1, 1.5 or 2 inches deep. I like the idea of a 1 inch deep, straight sided pan but wonder if spillage might be an issue when lifting it out of the egg after a long cook. Two inch pans work great when adding apple juice and such for flavor but I don't do that anymore.
Any thoughts or suggestions on other drip pans. Thanks Tom[p]

tjv,
when i need a drip pan, i just always make one out of double folded HDAF. ..that way, my pan is always customized to fit whatever meat is sitting over it. . .and fold the walls about 1 - 2 inches high, and it will hold plenty of liquid if i want to put in apple juice or something. . ..

mad max beyond eggdome,
I do the same, customize for each application. -RP

tjv,
actually I have three that get all of my action. Smallest is 8.5 x 8.5 x 1.5. Then for bigger items such as roasts I use a 9 x 11 x 1.5. Iffin I want full coverage I use a round cake pan 12" diameter. For every use I line with foil to make clean up a snap.

tjv,
i use my 13.5 inch diameter paella pan for low and slows, turkey, casseroles etc. i line the inside with foil when used as a drip pan.

tjv,[p]I let it drip into the bbq. If the plate setter is on there, I cover it with foil to keep it clean. (Learned the hard way and it got yucky, but the dogs licked it clean for me, so now I try and keep it that way. Dogs wish I wouldn't.)[p]What's the purpose of a drip pan and why would I use one? Not being sarcastic - I really want to know.[p]Gwen

tjv,[p]I use a 14 x 2 aluminium cake pan, along with either ceramic spacers or a foil snake as a standoff from the platesetter. It has a rolled lip, so it is easy to remove when necessary.[p]I would not hesitate to try a shallower pan.[p]Big T

RRP, I'm leaning to 1.5 inch pans. I figure the extra half inch. vs 1 inch, might come in handy one day. Do you know the material thickness of your pans. Typically 14, 16, 18 or 22 gage material. 14 gage is 1.5mm, 18 gage is 1mm. T

dimplesmom, I use the pans to keep things clean and act as the indirect piece. I don't use the platesetter. T

tjv,
guage? No I really don't but all 3 are sturdy older pans which were "hand-me-downs" that wifey said I could have forever!

JerryD,
What brand of rib rack is that in the picture, with the rounded ends? Nice and long slots!

fishlessman,
Ah! Now, that makes sense to me.[p]Gwen[p]

tjv,[p]I really like the platesetter, except that it's a pain to go from indirect to direct. Very hard to get that heavy hot thing outa there. I'm not sure I think a thin drip pan is a good substitute, tho, unless you have an x large and can spread the lump out a bit. I don't know - I'm not that advanced and experienced. Obviously it's working for you![p]Gwen

Hi Judy Mayberry,[p]You know I am not sure. I have had that for a really long time... I got it at the grill store. For sure it is nice and very easy to clean.[p]Actually the only problem with it is that it really only holds 4 racks. I just bought a new one today that will hold 6. Will send pics on that one too with all 6 racks, hopefully it will work just as well.[p]I did a quick search on the internet and it seeems Weber makes one really similar. There is a really cool one that I would probably buy if I didn't just get one today - I put that link below.

You guys may or may not believe this. But I've been using an aluminum paint tray. :laugh:
I find it fits right under my ghetto raised grid and is large enough to cover the whole bottom of my butt V-rack.
Then again, for a ceramic mass, I also use a terracotta flower pot saucer. -
tjv,
Wow best idea on the leveling rack! I kinda like the way it is made! Can I ask on what and how the whole thing looks like?
