Foiling ?

[mulepackin]

When you foil do you put your meat in a foil pan, then cover, or wrap tightly in foil? A friend goes with the pan method, but I don't feel it drives juices back in as well as wrapping in a couple layers directly against the meat. What are the rest of you doing? This not meant to be a foil vs. don't foil thread.

I normally wrap directly with foil, however on the Memorial Day smoke I tried the pan/foil method and was just as pleased with the results!

I did a brisket Saturday and wrapped it tightly in foil then wrapped it in a towel tightly and then put it in the cooler for about three hours and do the same with my pork shoulder/butt. I had real good success with this over the weekend.

I use a pan and foil over. Seems I can't wrap very well and if I just use foil I have drippings going everywhere.

I wrap mine @ 190 195 and just let it rest for a 1/2 hr or so.

If I can I wrap it in foil couln't quite do that with the turkey this weekend so had to tent foil it but much prefer tightly wrapped

I stock up on foil pans, easier, less clean-up and no chance of a hole or rip losing all your juice!

Used to double and triple wrap my stuff in foil only to still have those precious juices drip out

so I'm stocking up on the foil pans like Bubba.

I wrap with foil so i can directly wrap with towel and into the cooler.
