16-Inch Stainless Drip Pan for Kamado Grills

Largest drip pan for 15" and 16" deflectors — catch drippings, reduce burnt-on mess, enjoy faster start-ups A 16-inch stainless drip pan provides maximum coverage, helps protect ceramics and keeps cooks cleaner. Why You Need This Pan Ceramic deflectors absorb moisture like sponges. Trapped moisture can steam, stress the ceramic, and eventually cause cracks. A 16 inch stainless drip pan helps: Protect the deflector — keeps fluids off ceramic surfaces Cleaner cooks — reduces burnt-on drippings and off-odors Reusable & durable — stainless pan stands up to repeated cooks Will It Fit My Kamado Sized for BBQ setups that use 15" & 16" deflectors.

If not, use these quick checks before you buy: Match sizes — choose a pan that matches your deflector’s diameter Check clearance — confirm the pan fits between the deflector and cooking grid Maintain airflow — ensure airflow around the pan isn’t overly restricted See the Specs section below for exact pan dimensions. Benefits of an Air Gap CGS Ceramic Spacers create an air gap between the deflector and drip pan. That gap reduces heat transfer from the deflector to the pan, helping minimize burnt drippings and the off-smells they can create. Choose spacer height that preserves airflow and clears your grid. How to Use Double-line with foil — overlap two sheets in a “+” pattern for fast cleanup Extend coverage — fold foil up and out over the pan’s rim, if needed Placement — set directly on the deflector, or elevate with CGS Spacers for an air gap Aluminum Best Practices Melting point — aluminum melts around 1200°F (reachable in a kamado if left unchecked) Leaching risk — acidic foods or temps above 400°F can leach small amounts of aluminum; elevating the pan above a hot deflector helps minimize temperatures. Foiling a deflector: Minimize foil on the deflector’s bottom side Keep foil loose on top and along edges Avoid excessive cracks and crinkles — they can leak Use a double layer of foil for better protection 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. 16" Drip Pan Specs Diameter: 16" Sidewall: 1" tapered side Edge: rolled top edge for strength Material: 200 series stainless steel Finish: will heat-tarnish with use (foil recommended) Use with setups that employ 15 & 16 inch half-moon or full round heat deflectors. Protect your ceramics, cut down on greasy cleanup, and keep cooks cleaner—every time.
