What Pit Boss model do you have? I’d imagine you have a drip tray that you could line with foil to make for easier cleanup.

It says it’s model number 11013. It’s half pellet and half charcoal.
There is a drip bucket that hangs under it. I assume that’ll catch it all but I’m just used to putting down foil to keep things a little cleaner.
Highly recommend the drip bucket liners. I’ve had raccoons raid my drip bucket when I didn’t clean it out soon enough and those liners make for easy cleanup.
As for the bottom of the smoker, you’ll end up with some grease that doesn’t make its way to the bucket, so every so often I take plastic putty knifes that you get for painting and scoop out any excess grease.
Yeah it came with one liner and I’ll pickup some more.
25lbs of pork going in tomorrow for an overnight smoke.
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.
