Tossed a couple of butts in the MES 40 Qview

[bigpoppa]

These were a bit over 7 lbs each. I brined them in an Apple/Rosemary brine for about 3 days. They smoked for 11 hours @ 230 degrees with apple/oak blend pellets in the AMNPS. Everyone for dinner said I should change career fields and start cooking for a living....I would have to admit they were pretty awesome! I was surprised a bit myself

Quick question: Why do you foil-line your water pan?

 

[bigpoppa]

I foil line mostly for a quick clean up. Since I brine most meats that I smoke I dont find it necessary to use liquid in my water pan when I smoke. Instead of pulling it out I just line and use to catch drippings from the meat. When all  is said and done I just throw the foil away and have a quick wash then I am back ready to smoke again.
