Jim, that's $10 "auto drip pans" from Walmart under my smoker and grill. They were in the automotive department with the motor oils and oil changing equipment.

congrats on the new smoker. I got one last year for Christmas and love it. Just did a pork shoulder in it last Friday and it was great. There is nothing better than slow cooked smoked meat. Post some pics of good eats that come out of it.

Good Evenin Jim,
Wow you must have a great wife !!!

This is kind of funny, because I told Kathleen yesterday that I havent used my smoker in a few weeks and was real anxious to get it running this weekend ! Im thinkin pork ribs and chicken but that may change a bit by then !

I cant tell you how much fun runnin a smoker is..... youll just have to find out for yourself ! I kind of think its the cigar smokin and beer drinkin and watchin the smoker perforn its magic, but heck I dont want to ruin it for you.....

Happy Birthday and have fun !

Jim, there may be some bad news. I was in Walmart this morning and thought I'd just see if he price had changed on those drip pans. They didn't have any, so I happened to see the department manager and asked about them. She knew exactly what I was talking about and said they discontinued them, but she doesn't know wny, nor did she know whether it was all Walmarts or just this store, but she thinks it's probably all Walmarts.

Mine are 25" x 47", stamped "Auto Drip Pan" and "Auto Trend Products".

So I don't know where to find more like them.

My new wife and I just got a Traeger grill for our wedding gift from my family and it has been busy ever since.

So far ribs, blackened chicken (for alfredo), burgers, steak...heck the whole works. My old gas grill is now just hanging out.

Love the ham recipes and will have have to give it a try.

Thanks Bird. I may not need the drip pan. My smoker will be on pea gravel instead of a stained deck like yours. I'll look at AutoZone for a pan instead of Walmart. Perhaps they or O'Reillys have one, maybe even Lowes or HD.

Jim, I was in all four of those stores today for different reasons. None of them have the same pans like I currently had, but I was in AutoZone first and they had the Blitz drip pans that look the same except for being 11" shorter. I had a use for one of them, so I bought one for $9.99 plus tax. Later in the morning I was in the O'Reilly's store and they had the identical Blitz pans for $8.49 plus tax (my usual luck)
