Drip Pan Coverage for 10" Deflector Setups

The CGS 10" stainless steel drip pan is sized for compact kamado setups using 10" ceramic heat deflectors. It catches grease and drippings before they can soak into porous ceramics or collect in the bottom of the grill.

Its compact diameter makes it a good fit for MiniMax and Small Big Green EGG, Kamado Joe Jr., Vision M Series, and other smaller kamado setups where a larger drip pan could crowd the cooker and restrict airflow.

Why Use a Stainless Drip Pan?

• Protects Ceramic Deflectors — keeps grease and drippings from soaking into porous ceramic surfaces.
• Keeps the Grill Cleaner — catches drippings before they reach the bottom of the cooker.
• Reusable Stainless Construction — more durable and stable than disposable aluminum pans.
• Compact Kamado Fit — sized for tighter indirect setups where maintaining airflow around the pan matters.

Common 10" Drip Pan Setups

In compact kamados, space between the ceramics, drip pan, cooking grid, and grill wall is limited. Matching the pan diameter to the deflector helps preserve airflow while still providing useful drip coverage.

How to Use & Clean

• Double-Line with Foil: Overlap two sheets of heavy-duty foil in a + pattern for fast cleanup.
• Extend Coverage: Flare the foil slightly past the rolled rim if you need a little more drip coverage.
• Expect Discoloration: Stainless steel will naturally tarnish and darken from heat, smoke, and grease inside a kamado. This does not affect performance.
• Cleaning: Remove and discard the foil after the cook, then hand wash the pan or place it in the dishwasher.
• Skip the Foil? Hardened, baked-on grease may not come clean in the dishwasher, which is why we always recommend double-lining with foil before each cook.

Using Ceramic Spacers

Ceramic spacers create an air gap between the heat deflector and drip pan, helping reduce direct heat transfer and burnt-on drippings. On compact grills, however, vertical space can be limited.

CGS 5/8" Ceramic Spacers are generally the best choice for these smaller setups. Measure the open space between the top of your deflector and the bottom of the cooking grid before ordering.

Note: Ceramic spacers do not fit on the Woo in MiniMax or Small EGG setups using a 10" deflector.
