14" round drip pan and pork butt question

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I have the adjustablet grid from eggaccesories and I have a 14" round drip pan from them as well. I am needing to cook 4 pork butts this weekend and I am using the rig, with a pizza a stone then the 14" drip pan. What I was wondering is, is the drip pan going to overflow with the fat from the butts or will I be ok.

    I have not seen it be a problem...but some Butts have more fat cap than others!
    Some cooks like to trim closer for more bark...some not!

    Wichever camp you're in...I don't think you'll have a problem!

    Trim the cap of fat. This allows more seasoning on the meat if you are worry. I am cooking two 10 pound butts now and trimed as much fat as possible and I am not getting that much.

    I usually line my drip pan. If I get worried about something like this I will make a heavy duty Aluminum Foil bowl (sort of). It is usually the shape of the pan but I flair up the edges to make a deeper bowl.

    If you end up with a lot of liquid make sure you let it cool before removing. Foil full of hot liquid is not a fun situation.
