I did my first cook of 4 butts on the 22 this week and was cleaning my charcoal pan and noticed that I have an excessive amount of burnt fat (carbon) in the bottom of the pan.
Never had this problem with the 18 as wide rolls of alumunum foil would totally cover it. now withthe 22 some seeped in under the foil and burnt up good making a mess to clean.
Its soaking in soapy water now but I thought I'd ask what others have doen to either prevent this problem or address the clean up issue.
I was using the water pan empty with foil balls in it and a layer of foil covering the bowl as well as a layer covering the top (albeit with a split in the top that allowed the sepage)
