Place setter + V rack and Drip pan = tight fit

Unknown · January 2007

I am doing some ribs this AM and notcied that when I put the BGE drip pan in the upside-down place setter in my Medium BGE and add the V rack, that it's an awful tight fit.
Will I be ok just setting the drip pan on top of the fire ring and setting the V-Rack in it for indirect heat?[p]Also, approx. how much water is sufficient in the drip pan?

what size EGG? I put platesetter w/a spacer between it and my drip pan(I use 4 copper 1/2" ells) if there is no space my drippings dry up and burn in the pan...when I use a drip pan....I may or may not use wine,water,beer,apple cider vinegar,apple cider, or any combination of those liquids.....now fer sure if I was not using the platesetter I would definately have liquid[p]goog luck and posts some pics.....

Ricks Tropical Delight is my hero on the medium egg.....he has one and his posts are "to die for" maybe ping his butt awake and he can help you....I cook on a large....but soon I am going to buy a small, saving money for it as we speak...I hope that everything turns out GREAT

<p />Metalhead,
hahaha! i'm awake![p]when i used the v-rack for ribs, i put the plate setter legs up, drip pan on the plate setter, grid on the plate setter legs, and v-rack on the plate grid. it is tight in the medium, but it works. the top will adjust the v-rack to where it needs to be.[p]the v-rack will not fit in the medium this way if it's turned the other way, say for a roast. you have to put the v-rack in the drip pan on the plate setter without the grid.
