pork butt drippings

I always have a pan under my pulled pork while smoking with apple juice in it and the pan always burns the drippings in it. i am wondering if anyone uses the drippings from the pork and is there a way i can keep the pan from burning the drippings. i would like to use the drippings to pour over the pork after it is done smoking thinking that will add alot of taste to it. has anyone used the drippings? did it work well? how cn i keep the drippings from burning?

ps. i put the pork on a v rack over a pan on top of a place setter on my BGE

I haven't saved drippings yet, but while in North Carolina, I had some of the best Eastern N.C. 'Q, and the owner said that the vinegar dip should be "cut with the drippings of the hog." Most around here prefer red sauce, so it hasn't been a priority.
