Water pan juice disposal ??

[Ahab]

Apologies in advance if this has been asked & answered....Operators of WSM, if you use the water pan as I do , what do you do with the pan full of 1/2 H20 & 1/2 grease when the cook is over ?? Invariably i top off the pan an hour before i am done. I always line my pan with foil so final clean up is easy but.... down the sink no, in the toilet , yea, no....I usuall wander off into the woods & dump it but even that seems sort of wrong. open to ideas...

[ComfortablyNumb]

My dogs give me the stink eye if I dump it, but there is nothing wrong with dumping it in the woods, or a hole in the ground somewhere in the yard. I would not put it in any plumbing fixture unless you like clogs and plumbing repairs.

[xaugievike]

Mine goes into the grass

[MikeS-AK]

I mix it with charcoal and wood ash then into the curb side service. Unless you separate out the grease and fat, you don't want that going down the drain. Also, I live in bear country so it's not wise to dump it in the woods. I try not to have a buttload of water left at the end of a cook.

Ashes and grease - isn't that the way you make lie soap?

[Steve R.]

I usually have a plastic gallon milk jug in the recycle bin. I save the lids just for this occasion. Get the widest funnel you have, pour the water/grease in the jug, screw on the lid and it goes in the trash (I don't have mandatory recycling, fwiw).

[Mr. Bones]

I drizzle them all down th front width of my yard, next to th curb.

Always interestin, watchin th canine / hominid interaction, at that point...;

Git some Nantucket Sleighrides, from time, to time...

Sometimes from nigh on a block up th street.

[Anton32828]

Lol. I had to look up "Nantucket Sleighride."

[JoeSousa]

I dump it into my ash bucket and then the trash. Makes the garbage smell great!

[ribeyeguy]

I just dump it in the back yard. And then our dog spends the next week rolling over and squirming his back into it.

[Steve R.]

Funny, that's the exact same reason that I DON'T dump it in the back yard.

[FireMan]

Hey Steve R. it’s better than another animals s...

[Mr. Bones]

FireMan LOL Yup, 'Tis, Indeed, Brother...

[Ahumadora]

I fling it over into the neighbors yard

[Steve B]

Funny you said that. Right now that's what I do. But than again my neighbor abandoned their house 2 years ago.

[Ahumadora]

I am trying to get my neigbors to abandon their house.

[jfmorris]

Hahaha. I love this idea. I could throw it across the fence into my neighbor's swimming pool...

[RonB]

I tell my MIL it's soup.

[HawkerXP]

We have 5 gal floor soap containers with a wide mouth at work. I use these for motor oil too. When full I take to work and empty into the waste oil drum.

[FireMan]

Boring!

[Mudkat]

Lucky!

[Nuke em]

I solidify mine and make it into candles. To this day I still don’t know why my ex left me
i remove the water and put it in a plastic trash bag and into the trash it goes

[HawkerXP]

I love those brisket scented candles!

[FireMan]

I love candles too!

[Beefchop]

At the end of my cook, I down it.

[Mudkat]

How's "your" plumbing?

[fttank]

I separate out the water and the grease. The water goes down the drain. The grease goes into a ziplock and into the garbage.

[fttank]

It takes 5 minutes. Not much work at all and I don't have a dog.

[Andrrr]

How do you separate it?

[fttank]

I just let it get cold. The grease coagulates, I pour off the water, and throw away the pan and the grease in the garbage.

[Santamarina]

Straight into the trash.
