What size of FOIL drip pan fits best on the Large Big Green Egg? I have some here at the house, but they look too small.

    I've always used a tape measure, based on what I'am cooking and is it going onto a v-rack and set into the alum. toss away.
    Also I have learned to do a cold run on all of the above just to make every thing fits before fire in the hole. Smiles to ya.

    It wont be in a V-rack.

    I always use the alum. pans that I can just toss out. I was just hoping to get an answer because Im at work and not able to measure it right now and I will be picking something up on the way home.

    Thanks for the input.

    Do you need the measurements of the Lrg platesetter?

    a 12" round one works best for me in my large regardless of whatever meat I'm cooking.

    This with the Lrg PS and 13" diameter foil pan.
    App 1 1/2" plus gap from edge of pan to PS legs.

    Just got a 14 inch aluminum one off amazon for 15 bucks. Seems to be pretty good.
