Disposable aluminum tray for MES 40"?

[DinkyDoodleDoo]

The "official" pans are expensive, are there ones that I can buy from Amazon/Walmart/Target that will fit well in the 40"?

A Standard 9" × 13" Pan is perfect. The MES grate is 12" × 19" so the Disposable allows plenty of circulation of heat and smoke. Amazon has 25 for $20...JJ

I use three 11x15 on the bottom rack from the Dollar Tree (2/$1.) Two sandwiched together to insulate the drip catching tray ontop to keep grease from vaporizing so muck. Slide the stack front, back, left and right a rung or two to even heat. Just don't butt the pan against the back wall and right wall if you use the stock sensor/controller because the sensor is on the back wall and that corner will over heat. I flipped the element to not fry the insulation in the right corner and I have a PID controller so the sensor for it is near my food so I can butt the pan against the back wall to keep the element dry and from grease on the back wall. Lots of open room between pan and door and left and right sides.

The wife buys them at the dollar store. They work great.

Or you could just foil the water pan.A giant roll of heavy duty foil is MUCH cheaper than disposable pans.

Costco sells half sheets that are 9x13 I think. Pretty sure. I’m away from home or I would measure them.

I buy the big packs of them at BJ's wholesale club. Don't recall what I paid, but they were pretty cheap. And they make clean up so much easier!

Me, too. Around 8 or 9 bucks for a pack of 36 if I recall correctly. Most excellent! :)
