Hello All,
I know in the past we have talked about how challenging it can be to keep you drip pan from blowing away (and leaving you with a nice big grease spot on your patio) There have been some great suggestions in the past and here is one more. I have an SM009 and what I do is take some heavy duty foil and lift the smoker so this foil fits under all 4 legs. Then I take an aluminum pan I make a loop of packing tape (Duct tape would probably work too)and place it on the bottom of the pan. Then I tape the pan to the foil underneath the smoker. You can bend the ends of the foil up a bit to create a bit more of a wind barrier. I have been using this method this season with great success. We have had some EXTREMELY windy conditions and the pan has not moved one inch. Give it a whirl and see how it works for you.
