I know Tommy is right..I learned a ton from him, but I did something a lil different..in the bottom of mine below the bird, I put a stainless steel pan to catch drippings so I could make some gravy, I set the bird up higher on shelves in the BEESR, what I used this year, then caught the drippings..pretty clean cooker that way and great gravy makings. Just sayin..I love gravy. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
