Anybody else do this?

[Little Bob's BBQ]

I was reading Myron's new book, I was surprised to read he cooks shoulder in foil pans! I was thinking of trying this, but do the butts sit on the pan or up on a rack? Do you add liquid in the pan at the start? When it's time to foil he just covered the pan. Dose this have a good enough of a seal.:confused:

I have not done this with butts but have done it with turkeys.

I just set the birdy in the pan with out a rack or liquid.

When it got the color I wanted I foiled over the whole pan.

Did not have a problem at all.

It's on my list to try!

I would think the part of the shoulder in the juice would not have any bark? I think I'll try it but i'll use a rack in the pan, keep it out of the juice.

I've always thought the same thing LB. The pan, at least, would keep the dripings so you could baste once in a while. I love bark. Only way to know for sure is to try it out!


I'll be over for dinner and we'll decide then if it's worth it......:becky:

I'm in, we just need to decide on a time. We are to close not to get together.
I think you are right about the pan. I want the drippings and all the bark I can get!

I tried his method a few weeks ago and the entire family sort of turned their nose up at it.
VERY little bark and a weird texture - waaaay too soft.
There's a good chance my method and MM's method are different, but the pan created some issues for those of us who take pride in our bark:)
