Water or grease leaks from bottom of smoker onto deck or floor.

Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool before removing the drip pan.

Steps:

• Ensure the smoker is level front-to-back and side-to-side using a bubble level; adjust legs or place shims under feet as needed.
• Remove and empty the drip pan; clean thoroughly and inspect for cracks or pinholes. Replace if damaged.
• Clean the drain channel or hole leading to the drip pan with a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove grease buildup.
• Verify the drip pan is fully inserted and properly seated in its rails.
