Full Fledged Farker
Just looking for what others are doing here. I've been using a drip pan in my Kamado, well, always. I set it on my heat deflector, and let it do it's thing. However on a long, overnight cook i notice that the drippings are puddling, burning, and smoking up through my meat a nastier than desired smell.
I used the drip pan to preserve my heat deflector, which is also covered in foil. Am i better off forgetting the drip pan altogether? I know that meat drippings hitting hot charcoal is an enhancement flavor wise, but a burning puddle of who knows what, on an over nighter is proving different.
Doing 2 butts overnight tonight, low and slow. I'll be placing my 2 butts at a party next to 2 other butts from another smoker.
Of course, i want mine to be all gone.:becky:
