When you are doing pork shoulder or brisket, do you use a drip pan and the place setter? Thanks.

Yep. Plate setter legs up, with the drip pan on it (preferably propped up with four little balls of foil to keep it from scorching)
-
Yes,I always use the platesetter.Sometimes I even remember to use a drip pan :woohoo: Most of the time,I just put foil on the platesetter and let it go
-
Plate setter and drip pan are a must I think. I use them every time and the cook always turns out great.
-
And pour a couple beers in the drip pan at the start of the cook.
-
When using the drip pan for just catching drips and not cooking, I don't do the tinfoil ball thing (should I?)
When I have something in the pan that is cooking and catching drippings (like my lamb and taters this past weekend), I do the foilball thing.
Also, I find if you do 3 balls instead of 4 it's easier to balance. -

And then a few more into the cook!

Good idea about the three balls instead of four...I generally have to push down on the pan to level it out. I use foil balls all the time to keep the drippings from scorching, the liquid from boiling off too fast and generally making my pan a horror show to clean. Just a preference, really.
