Possible Causes

Clogged grease drain tube, Misaligned drip tray, Missing or mispositioned grease bucket, Warped drip tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool completely before handling greasy components.

  • Inspect drip tray: Ensure the tray is installed correctly with the low side toward the drain.
  • Clear drain: Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to clear the grease drain tube.
  • Check bucket: Confirm the grease bucket is hanging correctly and not overfilled.
  • Replace warped tray: If the drip tray is warped and no longer channels grease properly, replace it with a Camp Chef-compatible tray.
