I've cooked brisket several different ways and I like a hot and fast brisket for sure. I was thinking about putting a brisket in foil pan and cook it hot and fast. My method is usually 1 1/2 hours fat side up. 2 hours fat side down and wrap in butcher paper for the rest of the time until she probes like butter. Do you guys think this would work as good in a foil pan and wrapping with foil. I want to get the most juice as possible with the brisket. My cooker is a UDS and I would be using kings ford blue. I figured I won't get as much smoke flavor. What do you guys think?
 
Here's a similar thread from a couple of weeks ago. the consensus was that the results would be similar to foiling. I was interested in using a pan after the brisket had cooked for a while, not for the full cook, however. It seems that you would lose some of the smoke, but I've never tried it (yet).

Whenever I've foiled in a pan I put the pan underneath the brisket on another rack to catch any drippings to get as much smoke as possible, then foil in the pan. You could also always put a cooling rack in the pan to raise it up off the bottom while it gets the smoke, if you wanted to do the entire smoke in a pan.
 
The way I learned hot and fast was to start with the meat on a cooling rack. At two hours, lift the rack and place in a foil pan, put about 1/2 inch of apple juice in the pan and cover with foil and put the whole thing back in the cooker.
 
If my memory serves, our early pioneer hot and fast smoking Brethren, KickassBBQ , always used a foil pan and seemed to get plenty of smoke.
