16-inch Stainless Drip Pan for Large Big Green EGG

16-inch Stainless Drip Pan – Greatest Protection for the Large Big Green EGG

This 16-inch stainless steel drip pan is the biggest diameter pan recommended for the Large Big Green EGG.

CGS recommends the 16-inch over the 14-inch drip pan when placed above the fire ring. We prefer the biggest coverage and protection.

Why Use a Stainless Drip Pan

Ceramic deflectors absorb moisture like sponges. Trapped moisture can steam, stress the ceramic, and eventually lead to cracks. Using a 16 inch drip pan helps:

• Keep fluids away from the deflector;
• Reduce burnt-on drippings;
• Keep your grill cleaner for faster start-ups.

Built for repeated use, cook after cook.

Compatible With

• EGG ConvEGGtor
• EGGspander
• CGS PSWoo Expander
• CGS 3-Leg and 5-Leg Woo Expander
• CGS Large Adjustable Rig

Pro Tip: The pan’s 14-inch bottom matches perfectly with the circular part of the EGG ConvEGGtor.

How to Use

Place directly above your Large EGG deflector. Line with double foil for quick clean-up.

Elevating the Drip Pan

Raise the pan to reduce radiant heat and burnt drippings:

• Use extra Crossbars on the Adjustable Rig
• Use CGS Spacers on Expanders & ConvEGGtor: 
  • 1.5-inch max height with ConvEGGtor
  • less than 1-inch max height for CGS Woo

Max Coverage

The 16-inch drip pan is the largest pan that fits the Large EGG. 18-inch pans are too big. If you prefer to match the ConvEGGtor’s circular base, choose our 14-inch pan.

Adding Fluids

At CGS, we prefer not to add liquid to the drip pan during BBQ cooks. Unlike offset smokers that constantly move air, kamados hold heat and moisture exceptionally well. Extra liquid raises humidity, which can impede bark development - and bark is what everyone likes.
