how much space is in between the grill grate and the bottom of the grill itself? I'm trying to figure out what size pan to put underneath to catch fat

Not much space - about an inch. I usually put a layer of alu foil turned up at the sides to make cleaning easy. The finish costing on the grill is also very east to clean.

About 2". No need really to catch fat. The coals burn it off. Never had that problem. The best things about this grill is that (1) you can cook more on it because it's rectangular, and (2) it closes up for storage and travel. I keep the tongs & lighter fluid inside for travel. One issue I have with it is that it gets hotter on one end even though all vents are opened equally. Never have figured that out. Hope that answers your question.

The gap between the charcoal grate and the cooking grate is just over 2.5". If you are looking to cook over indirect heat, you might be able to squeeze an 8" x8" shallow cake pan in there, but you may be better off using HD aluminum foil and making your own basket to catch your drippings. There is little to no room above the layer of charcoal to lay a pan to catch drippings. Of course, you can just line the entire bottom of the grill with foil to provide easy cleanup.

Dear Brandon Tilley, Thank you for your question. The grill grate itself is 17 1/2 inches long by 13 inches wide. I've used this grill for over 4 years now, and it still looks like new with just a clean-up at the end of every summer. I hope this answers your question and All The Best To You! Maren

I purchased the same grills and I'm very happy with my purchase. I measured the inside of my BBQ from the back lip where the grill sits to the front where the grill rest and you can compare the length to the diagram provided. Do the same for width.

The grill fits snuggly inside the outer ring. You need to buy a small tool, like a metal dental pick easily found at a hardware store.. stick it in a hole at the edge and the grill will come out easily.

Smaller than the picture would suggest. Actual grate is exactly 8"x6". It fits nicely in the bottom of both the shallow and deep pan. Overall it's 10"x7"x2" deep. Shallow pan is about 3/4" deep.I bought it to use on my grill and I am glad to have it, compared to the gadgets the smoker/barbeque crowd has to offer. Nice coating/finish, cleans easy.

The bottom grate is a separate piece that fits over the bottom plastic tray. You can leave it off of you like. It may affect how well the plastic tray fits in, but I have done that before.

I use mine on both my circular weber and my big gas grill. You can use two of the grates at a time on a standard Weber, which holds 6 burgers comfortably.

I purchased the 17x12 inside is 16x11 the grill top comes off and you have a pan that is mostly flat. it has a rim inside for drippings about 1 inch around. The bottom of the lower pan is NOT FLAT. inside the rim is flat

With all sides up a mess tin fits perfectly, but nothing bigger. With the left side down a small or medium frying pan. If it's not windy or you have a separate windbreak, then you can let the back and sides down to use a larger frying pan. Although you may be better to just buy the separate "Coleman Grill Stove Griddle" .

Standing pan and insert side by side, I would say there is about 1" to 1.5" separating space between pan bottom and insert bottom.

I would suggest you measure your grill and then choose the Cover size that is closest to your grill size. I think if you go too big, the cover looks funny and will also hang onto the ground or deck, then as it blows around in the wind, it going to wear at the bottom. In addition if the cove it too big, it will slide around in the wind and could end up scuffing your grill.Helpful???

I just gave it a test, you should be able to fit 7 , 3-1/2 inch wide burgers on the grill. I used ramekins and 3 per side were comfortable, one in center.

You have enough room. The under mount needs to be over 23 inches. We love this sink. Looked high and low and could not find a better deal. The grate decreases the depth as my wife wanted a less deep sink area due to back issues. The sink basket and catches all food debris. Nice finish and easy clean. Good luck

I purchased one of these for my wife, but she did not like the way that fat empties into a small cup on the side (see pic: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/media/products/slideshow/500/25331-inset01.jpg). We replaced this grill with a deep electric frying pan and a larger electric griddle, both of which we are very happy with. This grill might be quite suitable for your needs.

The grease drain should be built in into the grill below the burners. I wouldn't put one between the griddle and the burner.

Just under 3 inches under the grate. It's best for raising food just above the grill. You could slide burgers underneath, but would need to pull them out to flip.
