Update: Tried the foil boat method on a pork butt last month in my Oklahoma Joe's

I was getting tired of my bark getting soggy when I wrapped, so I gave the foil boat a shot during a 14-hour cook. The pork was still super tender, but the top stayed nice and crunchy. Anyone have a good trick for keeping the bottom from drying out when you do this?

Yeah, I put a little water pan underneath the grate to add some steam. Helps a ton.

Wait, you put the water pan under the grate? I always put mine right on the coals next to the meat. No wonder @ellis.leo's friend got such good results, that makes way more sense for actual steam. I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

Saw my buddy try that and his chicken turned out way juicier.
