I know this topic has been talked about a million times but I think I have a slightly different question...
I have yet to use water in my water pan on my WSM. I just foil it.
I do think my temps get a bit too high though. Even if I have it around 225F on the WSM thermometer I know that's much lower than actual temp (maybe even by 50 degrees).
A lot of people seem to complain about the cleanup from using water in the water pan? I would think it's easier to clean but I guess not.
WHAT IF I left the water pan empty but put a metal bowl with water in it on the bottom grate that is above the water pan? Maybe that's sort of a best of both worlds solution? Or maybe it's just dumb haha...
Appreciate any advice!
