I’ve been using a vertical smoker for years. I always like to put a layer of foil down at the lowest layer to catch some drippings from my butts.
Now that I got this pellet smoker (pit boss) I don’t see an easy way to do that. Should I just say fuck it and go no foil? Should put foil down at the bottom near the heater?

My weber Smokefire has a little bit of space underneath the grates where I can position a shallow foil pan to catch drippings. Maybe yours has the same?
The foil pan also serves another purpose… It provides better indirect heat for slow cooking.
Yes use foil for easier cleanup.
