I tried doing the temperature bump near the end up to 350 and the unit ended up with a grease fire in the back drain tray.
Had to take the birds out and hit them with a torch instead.
What is the safe and reliable way to crisp up the skin in the unit at a temperature that will work to do so without fire and flames in the cabinet?
Can I use an aluminum roasting tray insert and pan so that the grease is contained? Sounds like a good idea but not sure how much smoke and heat would get around my birds then...maybe use a roasting rack inside an aluminum pan?
 
I'd put the pan under the birds to catch the grease with water in it. Your smoke comes from the vents on the sides and the back wall.
 
I sear mine on one of my charcoal grills. My 1150 has the capability to sear and thats fine if you're only cooking a few pieces. Only takes me a few minutes to heat a few coals and I dont have to worry about coating my deflector plate with sauce either.
