Any of you guys collect the drippings under your butt? (sorry that sounded really bad)
I was wondering if you added them in at the pull?
Definitely! I defat and add to pull as necessary. The rest I freeze into ice cubes for flavoring soups, etc.
Note that I politely left the "other answer" to KyNola.
Ive never had but I see plenty of folks that do, I might try it next time as stated above. To add back to the meat after its pulled.
And yeah, the answer for this can go in a whole different direction. ;D Where's Larry on this one ;) ;D
Here one way. ;D :o

Nope! Nope! Nope! ;D ;D ;D
I've done it. Most of the time I place a pan on a rack below the butt and add a dark beer and let it collect the drippings into it, then separate the at out and add a little back in after the pull.
I did for the first time with my last butt smoke for a perty I did. I first added in a pan of beans to catch some drippings for 2 hours then fridged the beans and added a pan to catch all the drippings. When complete I placed the drippings in a bowl in the fridge, they solidified like grease would. When I heated the beand I placed a hgenerous scoop with them. As I stated this was the first time I did this and was not sure how the beans would turn out. During the party before I tasted the beans myself I had several people come to me asking how I made the beans as they were delicious!
When I finally got around to trying them they werew GREAT! Picked up a bit of the spicyness from the rub and had a hint of heat /smoke. I will be saving all my drippings moving forward for future projects, not to mention it also keeps them away from the heating element and a grease fire.
Allways ;D
