Grill Maestro

The Virtual Weber Bullet site is a cornucopia of useful information about the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, I turn to it at least once a week to find some useful tips and tricks about grilling and smoking with the WSM. This week, I discovered a clever little hack by Mike Willsey of S.C. called the Piedmont Pan.

The Piedmont Pan is essentially two Brinkmann charcoal pans, you can probably find these at your local Home Depot’s expanded grilling/bbq section if you’re in a pinch, screwed into each other. The double pan system puts a little air between the heat and the pan that collects dripping fat so you don’t get much burning because the top pan will be cooler.

I haven’t tried it but it’s a clever idea but wrapping it in foil may just be easier.
