Question - is having it in a pan with the bottom blocked from the direct movement of the smoke a bad thing for smoke 'reception?'

If you have it laying right on the bottom of the pan, it wouldn't get any smoke on that side.

However setting it on the Wire cooling Rack, in the Pan, allows plenty of Smoke to get all around the Roast.

The Smoke goes everywhere there is an empty space.

Just on the bottom but some of us put a small rack in the pan to keep the food elevated out of liquids that disolve rub/bark formation. I have a small rack that sits on top of the pan on the indented edge of the foil pan as well so smoke gets to the bottom of the food and still can be foiledl over/seal to the bottom pan if you have food that needs to power through a stall.

New to the Forum here.  Reading threads trying to get an idea what to buy.  Looks like you're the king here Bear.

So this prime rib took a little more than 6 hours?
