On the two episodes of BBQ Pitmasters, I saw David use a paint tray pan on the grease catch tray?
Is this to hold water for more moisture or to catch grease?

Seeing as the drip tray already provides an exit for grease, perhaps the paint pan contains apple juice or water for added moisture or foiling au jus. He does foil.
Maybe Team Butcher (David) will give you a direct response.

Old sly fox like David, might have just put it in there for show. 
Maybe... But it might be a good idea ... Muffin pan chicken was bs at the time but now everyone is doing it 
REF: the muffin pan chicken,I'v known and cooked by Myron about 15 years and he has always been real creative.
He was doing frenched thighs to look like lollipops and others after that.
He is certainly one of the great pork cooks around,starting with large whole hogs at Memphis in May.
I'd be curious as to how many wins have come from the muffin tins and how many cooks repeat it,after they try it out.
Just a thought.

He even has Muffin Pan chicken on his restaurant menu. I think it's a urban legend, kinda like Eddie and Mayo
Yep,but we in the know,realize that Eddy and Mayo is a proven winner!

I sampled Myron's cupcake/muffin chicken, along with a number of other menu items, at the restaurant he's involved with in Miami late last year and wasn't impressed. Rubbery skin and a disgustingly sweet sauce. Once I got the skin and sauce off it was just OK but certainly not worth the single serving price of $10. Couldn't complain though since everything was comped. Most of the other items sampled left me with the same impression.
Yes, that is a painters pan on the heat shield. It is used for.................................................................................................ok I'll tell you. I add water to it. It helps equal out the heat thru the cabinet and eliminate hot spots. Yes I see a some help with moisture.
Thanks David..... I have used a foil pan before but the painters pan is a good idea
