Just got my first pellet smoker. Quick question (self.bbq)

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.
