Hey y'all,
I recently smoked a pork butt (7lbs) on my MES30 w/AMNPS and had a weird occurrence. I seasoned the pork butt, put it in the smoker. Smoked it at 225F until IT hit 205F and did not wrap the pork butt because I wanted a better bark. I had a disposable pan on the shelf below the pork butt, but when it was all said and done, there were almost no juice/drippings in the pan. I smoked the pork butt fat side down. Has anyone else had this occur? The pork butt pulled apart nicely and was tasty and juicy (not soupy, but juicy). I originally wanted to have the drippings to make a sauce so was disappointed when I didn't have any drippings afterwards. I checked thinking perhaps that the dripping catch pan wasn't positioned properly beneath the pork butt, but there wasn't drippings anywhere. Thoughts?
