This was my first smoke substituting a clay pot saucer for water. I did 4 butts plus a 11 lb brisket. My saucer at the end was next to overflowing with grease. In fact b/c the cook went about 17 hours I had to add coals at about the 14 hour mark and started getting a serious flame up under the pan because of grease seeping down (closed vents and it flamed out quickly - no problem).
I don't recall seeing anyone discuss this issue in all of the clay pot discussions I've read. Others seeing the same full pan of grease?
