My original grease pan was the old easy warp one from 2009/2010 era. When they came out with the much more stout heavy duty ones a few years later, I got one of them. When the SS open Flame became available, I upgraded once again. I never really had any temp issues, it was just a pain in the xxx to clean, so about 6 months ago, I put the Heavy duty one back in, and there it remains.
