Protecting my patio

[Matt H]

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I chose here.

I wanted to order an oil pan drip tray from Amazon to put under my 18.5 WSM on my wooden deck to protect it from drips and ash and such, but the only steel one I could find is 36 X 25.

Seems like it would be just a touch too small to fit both the smoker and the lid for when I need to put the lid down on a clean surface.

What size do you think is ideal? Any suggestions on where to get one if Amazon is a no go?

Thanks all.

Any auto parts store should carry one. Get 2 if one is too small. I prefer to set my lid on a table so I don't have to bend down. The table also holds my maverik and utensils and beer and towels and......... There is a post here somewhere on tables folks use next to their cookers.

Mark.

I'll second the auto parts store. Any of them should have them,and if not,can get them in a day or so with no shipping.
I actually put my lid on the concrete counters of my grill garden surround. No worries,and I don't have to bend over to pick it up!
