My drip container sits over my water bath, if you are smoking at 200-225 you can put onions carrots etc there to cook. I use then for soup but...
I cook on racks like this :
or
Placing a disposable roasting / baking pan on the drip tray should work but you can always lift it off slightly by using a cooling rack. Drizzle and brush with EVOO and put taters, carrots, onion, garlic there to cook. I try to keep a little liquid in there. I am sure that on a long cook you may want to remove earlier. but with fatty meats I never do. All smokers are different. I know your heating element is bottom center so you just have to try and see.
Remember you need a water bath/ tray for moisture.
Does Camp Chef have a smoker group?
Tell us about the 1st smoke in another thread?
