    Water in the unit equals low heat

    I have a Vertical Electric. I put hot tap water in the H20 pan. That way your smoker doesn’t have to work as hard to get the temps up. That's what i do. I fire mine up with the chips and hot water in there, get some TBS going and drop in whatever youre cooking.

    Welcome aboard Patriot, Just to let you know, this can become highly addictive. I started out in July with a Vertical Watt burner and have since added an ECB (El Cheapo Brinkman) to the collection. This is a great place to learn and share your success-QVIEW !!! and the occasional failure.

    Water tray question for a noob?

    no i keep it where it is. I have read that you can get cold spots on your element by putting something directly on it. So I have left everything standard.

    Water tray question for a noob?

    Not sure what your question is about the heating element. I start with a full pan of hot water and depending on how long your smoke is i.e. pork shoulder took 8 hours I filled it 3 times.
