I never cooked with drip pan before. Does it go directly on the grid or on the coals? Thanks.

    Newbie,
    The drip pan goes directly on the grid. You can either use another grid to put your food above the drip pan, or use a v-rack sitting directly in the drip pan.

    nikkig, "You can either use another grid to put your food above the drip pan
    " is the better choice. Putting V racks or any rack or meats inside the proximity of a pan only deflects the heat around the meat. If you have the meat in air suspension, on a raised rack above the pan, then you will have less uneveness in the cook.

    Char-Woody,
    hmmm...never knew that. Thanks for the tidbit of info. I personally never use a v-rack because things stick to them, and I hate cleaning them. Most of our cooking is done on a raised grid, and when I ned a drip pan, I just slide one on the lower grid.[p]~nikki

    nikkig,[p]If you need indirect heating, I strongly suggest the plate stand available thru BGE. We got one this weekend and it worked great for JSLOT's ribs. [p]
