Primo XL drip pan rack
Hello all,
In the never ending quest to buy food and not grill parts I was planning on buying fire brick instead of D plates for my XL. I have the extended cooking racks. That said, could I flip my cooking grates and use them as drip pan racks and place the food on the extended racks? Anyone tried this? Thanks, Mike |

I absolutely love the D racks. I expect you could do what you plan, but the extended racks are significantly smaller and they are made to balance on the grates. I'm sure you could make it work ... but I love D racks. (I love D plates too. )

This is the kind of fun you can have with the D plates.

Yes I would highly recommend the PrimoXL. I bought mine on craigslist so I certainly didn't spend what it would cost new but have been very pleased thus far. Temperatures stay rocksolid once I get it set and has been very reliable. I'm to the phase now where I'm trying different types of lump to see what I like best. I get all my excessories at the BBQ-Equipment store and haven't had to deal with the warranty obviously because I'm not the original owner. If a tornado came and swept mine away I would buy it again.

As a Primo XL owner, I've sunk $ into the accessories too. The d-plates are a worthwhile investment, especially if you already have the drip pan racks. I mostly use one d-plate for offset cooking and for the marvelous reverse sear on steaks because I don't cook huge amounts of food much.
