    Curious about the differance between the way a offset cooks and vertical

    I use to have an old Chargriller w/sfb and then went to a WSM I keep reading about water in the vertical creating more moisture which I assume comes from the evaporation of the water in the pan but why is it that you only hear of verticals needing or using water but not offsets? I don't use...

    Another first smoke of the year

    I haven't fired up my WSM since sometime early last fall and had to get out of the slump,ya'll know what I mean, we're eaither to busy or in my case to lazy plus I sometime have to wait for stuff to go on sale. Well butts went on sale the past week and I made the comment I had to fire up my...

    The quest for what to use in the pan of my wsm is over NOW with PICS

     I was just wanting to make a leak proof liner so the drippings doesn't get all over everything. I'm splicing 2 pcs of 18" foil but the grease still finds a way to ooze through, when I took it apart to takes pics I found a small,really small, puddle of grease in the bottom because I was in a...

    The quest for what to use in the pan of my wsm is over NOW with PICS

    Another thing you could look into is a harrow/plow disk, they come in different sizes and are all about 1/8th" thick but they have a slight curve to them which I thought would be ideal and I was just thinking about using only 1 disk, that was the first thing I looked for but when a friend at...

    The quest for what to use in the pan of my wsm is over NOW with PICS

    Here's some pics if anyone is interested. First off I made a mistake in the size of the disks,the thin/smaller one is 15 5/8"dia and 1/16th thick and the large/heavy disk is 17"dia 1/8th thick. The bowl depth is about 4 1/2 " deep, the distance from the top of the rim to the thin plate is 3 1/8"...

    The quest for what to use in the pan of my wsm is over NOW with PICS

    I've been bugging ya'll about this thing for a while and I think I finally found what works for me, I'll know better on my next low temp cook. I know water is the perfect heat sink for low temps but I wanted to find something that would work about the same with less weight and won't slosh...

    Hopefully the last what to use in the pan question

    Okay I know I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill but now I think I'm just obsessed with it or just being anal but here it goes.  I know water is the best thing for the pan and some do other things like the clay saucer,sand and just foiled. The clay saucer and just foil people say to make an...

    WSM water pan,what do you use besides water and how well does it work.

    I guess for me being a hassle or pain is dumping the water,yeh I know how hard can that be, but where to dump it and because of where I have to set my smoker I can't let it sit all night to cool down so that means messing with a pan full of some really hot greasy water. The last time I used...

    WSM water pan,what do you use besides water and how well does it work.

    I've had my wsm for a few months now and have been reading about all the different things folks have put in the water pan. I've used water and I know  it's the best  if you want to maintain a stable temp around 225-250 but I find it to be a bit of a hassle when it's time to clean up. I have sand...
