Disposable solution for inside grease pail?

[wahoowad]

The grease pail on my Camp Chef is the perfect height to entice my dog. Even if I remember to dump the grease after every cook I know that pail will be deliciously greasy and he’ll always be after it. Is there a disposable solution? I’d rather just toss a cheap cup or liner or something but can’t think of what will fit in there good enough to catch everything.

Someone has to have a good solution for this already!

How about those large muffin pan liners?

Also used coffee cups from McDonalds, Sheetz, 7-11, etc. Just cut them down to fit.

I've not tried but have seen these on Amazon ...
Or if you find a large paper cup (not styrofoam) just cut it off an put in the bucket.

I line the inside of my Blackstone grease cup/pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Doubled up and folded so there are no side seams to leak. Just fold over and toss when done. A bonus is in the winter the grease will set up once you turn the griddle off and it's even easier to toss the solid grease.

The bucket is maybe a quart or larger in size, rather large at the top so can’t picture any kind of cup that will cover it well. I may have to make my own bucket, or perhaps just make a little wire handle that can be moved from disposable cup to disposable cup. Maybe coffee cans or something although I don’t usually empty many large enough soup or coffee cans regularly enough to keep up with how much I smoke.

Put his/her's dog dish under it.
Done, and done.

The dog has had several bouts of pancreatitis and keeping it away from fatty foods is advisable. I don’t want it drinking large quantities of fat.

OK then. You are going to have to put the bucket away then.
Get a second bucket. Use the greasy one when needed.
Then put away the greasy one and hang the clean new one out.
Win-Win! ....Well, except for the poor dog...

But that's what pet psychiatrists are for right? To deal with the human induced problems.
Row-row-rar-row-wer-ro-wer-row.... (And then my owner took away my only joy in life, the grease bucket.)
Owwwooooo-oo! (Oh, no joy in life!)

You, Sir, are a problem solver!!

More like just 'a problem'. LOL!
Some liken me to a hemorrhoid.
Sometimes a tickle, sometimes a pain....

Ya got a pic of the pail you're talking about? I'm not familiar with the CampChef

I found this on Camp Chef. If you scroll down (Page two), there is a cute bucket hanging to catch drippings.

Ya know, in the paint departments of the big box stores, they may have paint cups that could be sat down in that bucket.
Then run that booger through the dishwasher (top rack).
Or just a good old Solo cup. I think a simple Solo cup and toss it.
Or a wide mouth pint Mason jar? Empty peanut butter jar? Cat litter?

I might could run down a pet psychiatrist for the dog...
But you might think I'm being a 'roide... :confused:

How about a large paper drink cup, e.g. Wendy's, McDonalds, etc., lined with aluminum foil. Just toss the cup and foil when your done.

I line the ash catcher on my Weber kettle because grease will often drip through the bottom vents into any accumulated ash. Lining the ash catcher with foil makes cleaning up a breeze.

thanks for the pic, I don't know the size of the bucket but these would work great for you.

If not, they have other option to look at on the site, or google "take out containers"
I use 8oz plastic deli containers for bacon grease, but I let it cool a little before I use it, but it will hold up to hot soup. just a thought.
HTH, Dan

It’s 6” at the top, 4” at the bottom, and about 4.5” deep.

Looks large enough to accommodate just about anything mentioned in all the above posts.

Lots of options.

Hey All. I have some of the Traeger foil disposable liners and they're OK but pretty spendy to be 1 use disposable. Then I was thinking chinese paper takeout containers. But better yet - paper takeout soup cups. Less than $1 each, multiple sizes, I think these would work great:

All good ideas. I went with purchasing a second near identical pail from the paint section of Lowes. It has the same handle that fits so will work exactly the same. Now I will put the dirty one in the dishwasher after dumping the accumulated grease and hang the 2nd one. Swap back and forth as needed like was suggested above.
