Here are a couple photos of the MES fire aftermath. The grease tray had already been removed and cleaned. This happened about half way through the smoke with the MES chock full of ribs. There were six half racks on each rack. The ribs were not too fatty. I would say they were on the lean side of average.
The photos show that the grease had dripped down into the chip tray and ignited. We saw the flames making their way up to the second rack from the bottom and the fire appeared to be growing. One caution, when I threw a big glass of water in there, it caused some of the grease on the bottom to spatter with flying flames. My innitial reaction was - Maybe I could have handled this a little better. In fact it worked out fine, but, if I was too close, the spattering grease could have come at me.
I started a new thread because this seemed to be a potential problem for all users and that collectively maybe the best soloution could be found. The ribs turned out fine. Check out the photos.
