Primo Half Drip Pan Oval Round

Which grill does the Half Drip Pan Oval Round fit?

The Primo Round. This is the Round-size half drip pan, so it belongs in that grill. If you own an Oval Junior, Large, X-Large or XX-Large, choose the drip pan named for that size instead, because Primo pans do not carry over between models.

Where does the pan sit in a Primo Round?

Above the fire and below the food, supported by the deflector rack. On this grill that frame is the Primo Heat Deflector Rack for Round, which is a separate listing. The pan needs that support to sit between the coals and the grate.

Does a drip pan help with indirect cooking on the Round?

It contributes to it. A pan over the fire blocks some of what comes off the coals and stops fat feeding the flames below, and filled with liquid it adds steam to the dome. For fully shielded heat you want a solid barrier on the rack as well.

Why is it a half pan?

So it covers part of the cooking area and leaves the rest open. That gives you somewhere shielded to cook slowly and somewhere direct to sear, on a grill where space is limited enough that giving up the whole grate would be a real cost.

Can I add liquid to it?

Yes. Water, stock or cider in the pan turns to steam as the cook runs, which helps keep leaner cuts from drying out and makes the pan easier to clean afterwards. Check it on a long cook so it does not run dry.
