Thinking of making a drip pan for Weber from a pizza pan.
This sells for $15 on Amazon. 22" seems like the perfect size for my 26.75" Weber. I would need to cut it and bend it to create a lip on the cut edge. I would then wrap it in foil and set it on the charcoal grate. The drip and griddle is nice, but I have an Arteflame, and many cast iron pans so I'm not interested in another griddle option.
I have the drip n griddle and use it with my SnS. What a difference. Anything would work but the drip n griddle is so convenient and easy to clean and catches a lot of drops.

Heavy duty foil does the trick for me. That, and I will go to Dollar General and pick up a cheap ($1) disposable aluminum pan if I expect an excessive amount of dripping. Quick, cheap and easy cleanup.
This is exactly what I do now. It works great. Just looking for a tighter drip pan that's still cheap. I do store a couple extra disposable aluminum pans, John. So if made this new thing it wouldn't add to my storage woes.

I think the Drip and Griddle is superior, especially when using with the SnS because it also functions as a baffle for the kettle. Not a trivial design option, by any means. The fact that it also acts as a griddle is a bonus.
As Joetee says, it fits perfectly and cleans up easily. Sometimes, for me at least, it's better to purchase the exact thing that is designed for the purpose rather than jerry-rig something. Not all the time, I agree. But having used the DnG both with my SnS and on my gasser, I'd say it's a superior product to a pizza pan. The quality of the steel alone is worth the consideration. See David Parrish 's Adrenalin BBQ site if you need any more convincing.
Just sayin'...

Agree. Awesome item. It forces intake air through the coals and holds heat where it is needed.
good response Kathryn
If I could find a disposable aluminum pan that fit nicely I would opt for that over my pizza pan idea. When it comes to a grease catcher I want it to be cheap.
I will echo the comments that the Drip n Griddle contributes a lot for the Kettle's steady cooking performance. Just about all the cold fresh air from the bottom vents gets diverted away from the meat and to the coals. As a solid piece of metal, I' m sure it also helps maintain steady temps. Even though it covers the whole area you place the meat, I will still use a foil pan for some cuts. I have not used it as a griddle yet, but the way it improves the cooking, I pretty much consider that feature just a bonus.
The Drip n Griddle cleans well with soap and water and I have used Bar Keepers friend with great success - it will look new.
