Foil or Not?

[Baumer]

Yep, the foil on the drip pans for me... But it usually stays retaliative clean, because I cook on a 1/2 sheet, heavy duty commercial cookie sheet lined with foil with the meat resting on a raised mesh insert.. After every cook it takes 5min to throw the cookie sheet foil away and clean the mesh insert in the sink..Then just reline the cookie sheet with foil and place the mesh insert back on the cookie sheet along with all my cooking utensils probes gloves etc. Just slide it in the Bull place the cover back on the Bull and you’re ready for the next cook .. Hey, I’m just old and tired of messy clean ups.? Besides my yards,cars, and motorcycle keep me busy cleaning enough.. Great Smoking to you all, El

I’ve just started not foiling, I do believe it does help the flavor, I scraped the excess off this morning in about 5 minutes max ! I’m liking it . And like everyone else said the grease gets underneath the foil anyway, even when I overlapped the foil

Foil and change it after a heavy cook.. I also foil my reverse flow smoker heat plate,
30 butts makes a lot of grease drippings


Easy enough to use barkeeper every once in a while to keep in clean if foiling
