New 1 Piece Stainless Steel Grease Tray GMC Davy Crockett
« Reply #-1 on: July 28, 2018, 03:40:58 PM »
Awhile back I bought the 1 piece grease tray for my GMC Davy Crockett. I did not like the 2 piece
at all. It was a pain to clean and the temps were hard to keep stable. This new tray is a godsend.
I have always had temps that were within 5 to 10 degrees of the controller. This one is dead on with
only 1 minor adjustment to my controller software. This is a short video to show it in action.

Yep that would be the one. I don't sear on my DC and besides it was a pain to keep clean.

Glad to see that it is working out so well.
I haven't used my DC since getting the new grease tray
I really didn't have an issue with temps using the two piece tray.
It was just such a pain to get clean.

Obviously most people agree with us because GMG has gone to the one piece tray on the larger models also. (which also works great IMHO)

I didn't know they made a solid drip tray?. I never like those two piece trays.

Thanks for the info Mike. I don't have any problems keeping the two piece trays clean because I always foil it. Not a big fan of the two piece though. Looks like I will be getting myself a single piece grease tray.

I am going to grab one simply because the price is right even after shipping.

I have tried to pick one of these up from GMG and it has been out of stock for some time now.  Does anybody know where I can buy one?

In the video, you say adjustment is -3 and climate is HOT.  Where do you make those changes?

Our new Davy Crockett came with the one peice. It has been awesome so far. Only used it 3 times, but seems to be very even. I like your grates better than the ones that are standard with the new grill.
