Those pans go at the very bottom of the grill, under the heat source,
it doesn't get nearly as hot there as at the upper levels. But I
haven't tried them, it's no big deal to scrape out the built up grease
with a putty knife, not all of it makes it's way to the grease
collector. It doesn't need to be brand new clean but it's a good idea
to scrap out the majority of build up once or twice a season to
prevent grill fires plus that grease goes rancid and does impart a
nasty odor to whatever is cooked. Cleaning the grates is an entirely
different issue (heat and wire brush is usually enough) but it's wise
to keep the fire box reasonably clean too, and most people neglect
that. .. I suppose is why they came up with those liner pans.
