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.

This helps balance drip coverage with airflow and available space inside the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor longer indirect barbeque cooks, we prefer a single full-round drip pan over multiple half-moon pans. It's easier to foil, clean, and provides continuous coverage beneath the food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause kamado grills naturally retain heat and moisture, adding liquid to the drip pan is generally unnecessary for most barbeque cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; What's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4-inch to 1-inch with tapered sidewall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200-series stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolled rim for added rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e One 12-inch stainless steel drip pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use 200-series stainless steel because there is no practical benefit to paying more for 304 stainless in this application.
