I have not done brisket. How deep a drip pan do I need?

    Shallow is fine. The brisket doesn't put off much drippings. Or the 1 brisket I have egged didn't.

    Whatever size you use (depth would depend on the surface area as well but unless you inject you won't get near as much renderings as a butt), make sure you get an air-gap between the pan and plate setter or whatever you use as a heat deflector.  Don't need to burn the drippings.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I use one, don't let it set on the plate setter , helps if anything maintain temp IMO...I fill the pain with water and broth
