Drip Pans

I had bought some pizza pans from Amazon to use to collect dippings and found that they were so flat that the mess from pork butts wasn't always contained.  I found this 1" deep pan for the XL:

It works well with my Woo from CGS.  Its deep enough that it can collect a lot of grease with out overflowing and shallow enough that I can raise it a bit off my stone and still have good air circulation under the meat.  

I picked up a 10" and 11" to use with my medium.  The 10" fits within the platesetter and the 11" provides a little more coverage for bigger items w/o blocking too much airflow.

They have additional sizes so small and large eggheads should be able to find one that fits.  Some sizes are available in 1/2" depth, which would be adequate for most uses.

    Thanks for sharing the info.  I've keep stumbling across round stainless serving platters at estate sales.  Bought three in the last couple of months.

    Good link. I use the pizza pan, but always put a 9" foil pie pan under the butt, it catches most of the spooge and what misses the pizza pan can handle.

    I bought a roll of 18" wide foil from them as well.  It fully protects the smaller pans and keeps all but the edges of the 18" pan clean.  18" foil would be perfect for the large.  I didn't see 20" or wider foil which would be ideal for the XL.
