Drip Tray Over Flame Deflector

[Jimmo]

I bought a vollrath 5314 half-sheet baking pan to use as a drip pan. 2 of them if I have to cover almost entire bottom rack. But it won't be until Sunday because I ordered one on amazon that had 3 very long and DEEP scratches on back of pan. So I sent it back and reordered from Walmart. I will post results when I can!

I have a PIt Boss Titan and I use a water pan on most of my cooks. It helps keep the meat moist while cooking, serves as a drip pan and also helps to diffuse the heat and distribute it more evenly. Some people use them and some don't. I have tried it with and without and prefer the water pan.

The mess that the grease creates on heat diffuser is bad, even advances corrosion on sear plate. I have been using a cookie sheet wrapped in foil that fits perfectly under grates and fits great on grate railing.
