A little advice please for someone on this side of the "pond"! Does anyone use Pyrex or similar oven proof glassware in their Webers or should I stick to metal containers? Look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks

i've used pyrex on the indirect side several times without issue

I've used a Pyrex dish for years. You may want to designate one just for the grill.
It will always come clean, but my old lady doesn't want to make brownies in it.
I add water as well as juices depending what I'm cooking. Experiment and let us know

Ditto, although, more and more I'm using disposables.

Welcome to WKC.

If there's any smoke wood used at all, the glass will turn brown and be very difficult to remove, at least quickly. Pyrex is safe up to about 500 or so degrees, perfectly safe to use in your outdoor oven, just keep the heat indirect, not underneath it.

A typical 33x22cm cake pan fits in the middle of a 57cm kettle, with heat on either side in charcoal baskets. I've made more than a few lasagnas that way, only in inches instead. :)

I shattered a Pyrex casserole full of enchiladas being cooked indirectly.  Like it turned to LEGO sized chunks as I picked it up.  This was with a basket on each side of a 22 and the casserole in the middle.  Just be careful out there.

Yikes! I stopped using mine because of the extra weight compared to metal and cleanup I mentioned, but that'd be a deal breaker.

The slightest chip will cut you wide open during cleanup too. I like using metal (cast iron or tin pans) in the kettle.

I use the SS restaurant chaffing type pans on the grill. SS won't break and it's lighter than CI pans.


They are easy to clean and even can be used as drip pans, or drip & cook like I did with the duck.

Not sure what benefit glassware would offer. Any metal pan option would be better imo. Metal pans are inexpensive.

These are what you want to use.

They nest, clean easily, and can serve multiple purposes (drip pan, cook pan, heat block, cover, etc.) and they don't shatter.

What size do you use?

Jules V.

I'm pretty sure those are half pan. Dimensions should be roughly 12"x10". Height varies from 2"-6".  Available with 2 types of lids, fully enclosed or notched.
