I want to stop using foil

[Lemonhead78]

Can anyone please help me transition to not using foil. It’s becoming a pain in the butt to do. Do a majority of you guys foil or do not. Sorry if this topics already been covered to death

this won't solve all of your question but we use parchment paper when we can where we would at one time use foil for everything.

I agree. Foil was a pain for me. I usually cook on the top rack and put a disposable pan beneath the food to catch grease

Instead of wrapping in foil, put the butt in a foil pan and cover it with foil.  I think you'll get the same benefit without so much hassle.

Actually after the last “foil thread” I realized that I almost always use some form of foil or pan placed on the main grate when smoking. The meat goes on the full upper grate. Definitely helps keep things clean. With grilling I use no foil. Are you wanting to skip foil and/or drip pans for all types of cooking or just grilling?

Al of these are really good ideas/methods.   Additionally - get some butcher paper and experiment with using it after the stall for brisket - or even pork butts.

This is what I do when possible.
