Not sure if others have had this problem, but the first few times (I just purchased it) I've used my new "GOSM", I've had drippings down the legs and bottom. Now being a novice, I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I know my regular grill and offset smoker have drip cans, so I'm confident this is normal. The water tray inside catches most of the drippings, but not all.
I've learned to work under an overhead cover - in NW FL, T-storms pop up unannounced and really sucks trying to drag everything under cover when it starts pouring (another lesson learned the hard way) . So, under the cover, the drippings were going out onto the concrete which makes another hard mess to clean up.
Anyway, I thought about this and made a "Drip Tray" out of some scrap lumber I had laying around to surround the legs. I cut a piece of plywood for the bottom and screwed pieces onto the bottom to make the sides.

I placed kitty litter in the bottom to soak up any drippings. I haven't tried this out yet; will fire it up tomorrow. Hopefully things will work as planned.
I know all the creative minds out there probably have a better "mouse trap" and other things will work just as well. But . . . simple things for a simple mind...
Regards,
