Which grill ?

On the 700, the pan tilts downward to the right. From there, it goes into the drip/grease tube and into the grease bucket hanging from the tube.

Take an empty spaghetti sauce jar and put it in the bucket. Keep the lid in the bucket too. When the jar is full of grease, screw the lid on and throw it in the garbage. Rinse, repeat.

Since this is the Bullseye forum I’ll assume that’s what you have. The Bullseye is mainly a hot and fast grill so for steaks, burgers, chicken etc… the drippings burn up when they hit the deflector. If you decide to do something low and slow like ribs or a pulled pork you’ll need to put a drip pan under the grate. I suggest you raise it off the deflector.

How do you raise drip pan off the deflector?

I’ve got a small stainless grate that sits just under 1” high that I use. You could slice a fire brick to any height you wanted.

My disposable aluminum drip pans are deep I don't have much clearance between deflector and grate. Wish I could find large round disposable drip pans.

Amazon sells Them. Great suggesting to raise them if using a foil pan. SS hotel pans are an option that don’t need raised for low and slow cooks where you need a drip pan most, but I wouldn’t use one on a Bullseye directly during a hot cook.

Thanks Greg. I only use drip pans for ribs & brisket on my Bullseye.

Thank You, and yes its a bullseye.

RT makes an oblique reference to “foil” for low and slow cooks in its RT-380, but provides no detail. As has been suggested, the 380 is designed primarily for hot cooks and the grease burns off as it drips. That won’t happen on low-temp temp cooks, so some kind of grease retention would be necessary to prevent flare-ups and outright grease fires.

P.17 - “If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumulation of grease on your foil, you must change the foil before cooking at high temperatures!
Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.” (Bold added by me)

Update: I don’t have a 380, but if I did, I’d have a second, elevated rack that would sit in a foil pan to catch the grease on slow cooks.

I wish I could find about 16" or larger round disposible aluminum pans for my Bulleseye!

Well, not “round,” but could these work?

@charlesrshell curious why you need disposable. There are many options otherwise and you could always cover in foil.

Because it easy to throw away the disposable pans. What do you think of these two pans? I could line it with foil. What is the importance of raising the drip pan from the deflector?

Thanks. Those are a little bigger than what I use now.

Raising the drip pan gives a little air gap so you aren’t transferring temps from the heat deflector which sits directly over the open flame of the fire box. Provides a little more safety from grease fires especially when you get an overheat situation.

Here is a pan you might consider. It also comes in 16”, 19”, 20” but I’d caution against totally cutting off airflow from below. You can just set it on a stainless cooling rack (3/4” high) and your total height is 1 3/4”. There is 3” between the heat deflector and the cooking grate so you should be fine for space.

Thanks. I am leaning toward the 16" pizza pan and use 18" heavey duty foil. I am going to find some bricks that are about half the thickness of regular bricks. I think three of them will do. Are you getting your taste senses back any?

I’m not sure, but not much if I am. I ate a couple of Doritos yesterday because they are big flavor and thought I caught a hint of taste. My wife had me try a York peppermint patty and again I thought I got a slight taste but it may have just been the feeling of peppermint. So basically no! Thanks for asking though.

Thanks again for the drip pan tips. Hope your taste recovers back soon.

Found a 16" foil pan at Walmart for my Bullseye. Going to sit it on a firebrick from Home Depot that is 9 x 41/2 x 1 1/4 thick.
