r/grilling on Reddit: Napoleon BBQ with cast iron charcoal tray help

https://www.napoleon.com/en/us/grills/cast-iron-charcoal-and-smoker-tray-67732
Looking to get this when I get my new Napoleon Rogue 425 (Propane) W/SB.
I would love to get this but what worries me is that this tray is supposed to sit above the burners with the sear plates removed.
But the issue is the sear plates also protect the burners from getting clogged up and damaged from stuff dropping from up above. With the sear plates removed so you can lay down the tray, all that charcoal can fall down on top of the burners....
Can anyone tell me if I'm correct in this being an issue or not?

I’ve seen a few videos of people using these charcoal trays. Once the coals are lit they turn off the burners and slip an old baking tray right above the burners and under the charcoal tray to catch all the ash.

I posted the same thing a year ago and never got any strong answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/grilling/comments/vckep5/ever_used_one_of_these_how_do_you_keep_your_grill/ I do own one of these trays but I haven't used it. I do intend on using it eventually rotisserie over. When I do, I'm going to wrap my burners in heavy duty foil to keep ash out of them. Edit: To clarify - I'd light the charcoal in a chimney, not using the burners.

I need a new grill, is there any reason to stick with charcoal, or can a gas grill with a smoker box be just as good?
As an avid griller/smoker and a guy who has spent years working as a professional using huge charcoal grills, gas grills, whole log smokehouses etc i recomend a normal Weber grill for home use. For under $200 you can get a nice grill with the side table, the grill grate with hinged sides, and removable ash pan.
Heat: gas grills only get as hot as you can turn the dial. charcoal grills can get so hot you can't stand near them. This high and dry heat is key if you want perfect steaks.
Simplicity: Weber grills have very few moving parts. It's a firepit in a can. No knobs, nozzles, lines, tanks etc that can fail.
Smoking: yes you can get smoke from a pile of woodchips, but the beauty of the Weber design is that you can build and maintain a small fire on both sides of the meat and have a pan (i use a disposable turkey pan) catching the drippings under the meat. On a fullsize brisket you will get several cups of drippings.
The bottom line is grilled food is supposed to taste like it was cooked over burning wood. If not, just might as well cook it in your oven with the broiler on full blast.

December 23, 2008Charcoal Grilling, Can you use a disposable aluminum pan to hold briquettes for lighting? Any tips? Hacks?
Buy a chimney starter. Costs about as much as two bottles of lighter fluid and you won't have to use fluid to start the briquettes. More on reddit.com
