My apologies if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find the answer in a few minutes of searching.
Do any of you cook pork butts and/or brisket on a Pit Barrel Cooker and leave the meat on the hooks for the entire cook? I don't like the idea of wrapping in foil and putting it on the grate part way through the cook, but I also don't want my perfectly done meat slipping off the hooks and into the fire.
Yes, I could just put it on the grate without wrapping it, but that greatly reduces the overall capacity of meat that can be cooked at one time, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of hanging it in the first place.
