Yep. I used a cooling rack in the pan I smoked it in. These last picks were from when I put it in a 58 cent foil pan when I removed the butt from the ice chest. I need to buy a large enough serving plate to pull on. I appreciate all your help and advice yesterday! The feedback from my wife, son and his fiancé was very positive.I Smoke most of my stuff in a Pan (Prime Rib, Butts, Chick Thighs, etc, etc).
However I put the meat on a cooling rack in the Pan, so the Smoke can get all around the Meat, and the Meat doesn't sit in the fat & juices in the bottom of the Pan. The Smoke gets to everything, and the clean-up is so much easier.
