Possible Causes
Cooking very fatty meats without a drip tray liner, Drip tray slope too steep, Grease bucket too small or not emptied, Water entering the grease system from rain.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow grease to cool before handling the bucket. Wear gloves to avoid burns.
- Step 1 – Empty bucket regularly: Check and empty the grease bucket before long cooks and as needed.
- Step 2 – Use drip pans: Place disposable pans under very fatty cuts to catch excess grease.
- Step 3 – Check drip tray position: Ensure the drip tray is installed correctly and not overly tilted, which can accelerate grease flow.
- Step 4 – Protect from rain: Use a grill cover and avoid operating in heavy rain, which can add water to the grease system.
