A single pan provides continuous coverage beneath the food with no center gap for drippings to slide by. It is also easier to foil, remove, and clean than two separate pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe rarely see a need for single half-moon drip pans. Fast grilling cooks with lean meats generate minimal drippings. A folded sheet of aluminum foil draped over the deflector provides sufficient protection. However, for briskets, pork butts, ribs, and other low-and-slow cooks, a full-round stainless drip pan is our preferred setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTapered Sidewall Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe shallow 5\/8-inch depth and tapered sidewall provide a wider upper opening for catching drippings while preserving critical vertical clearance inside compact cookers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eUnlike offset smokers that require a continuous supply of fresh air, kamado grills retain heat and moisture extremely well with minimal airflow. As a result, adding liquid to the drip pan is generally unnecessary for most indirect barbeque cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eCooking \u0026amp; Care Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEasy Cleanup with Heavy-Duty Foil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe recommend double-lining the drip pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil before every cook. Overlap two sheets in a + pattern, pressing the foil into the pan and slightly over the rim for additional drip coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAfter cooking, simply remove and discard the foil. The pan can be hand washed or placed in the dishwasher, although baked-on grease may require additional cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel naturally darkens and discolors from heat, smoke, and grease. This is normal and does not affect performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eUsing Ceramic Spacers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePlacing ceramic spacers between the deflector and drip pan creates an air gap that helps reduce direct heat transfer and burnt-on drippings. For smaller kamados, we generally recommend our 5\/8-inch ceramic spacers where vertical clearance allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eUnlike drip pans with built-in feet that provide only a small air gap, separate ceramic spacers let you increase the distance between the hot deflector and drip pan when clearance allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not all compact kamado setups have enough clearance for ceramic spacers.
