Hey all. Im still new here. I have the MES30 and Im about to start my 2nd ever smoke tomorrow morning. I picked up a nice looking 4lb chuck roast. My questions are Ive seen different pics on here of them being done directly on the rack and also in a foil type pan. I dont dont which way to go about it. I was also going to marinade it with some misquite marinade. It says to do it atleast 30 minutes prior to cooking. I was thinking of marinating it overnight. Is that too long to marinate? I was thinking to set smoker to 240ish for 4 to 5 hrs and then wrapping in foil and go another 1 to 2 hrs but still not sure if I should do it directly on the rack or to use some sort of a pan so that it cooks in its own juices?????
