I have one and stopped using water in water pan (look up piedmont water pan), put a small grate in the bottom of the charcoal pan, and drilled holes. This has helped dramatically in my vertical brinkmann.

Guinness, Old Dominion makes a great oak barrel stout and Saranac Caramel Porter are probably my top 3 favorite beers to compliment smoked goodies. (Arrogant Bastard or Arrogant Bastard Oaked are also good) In the summer though, I keep it light with an IPA or even Bud Light Lime. Oh yeah...
There was a fatty comp a while back with tons of pics and ideas. My (and my wife's) favorite was the tomato, basil and parmesan fatty. The scrambled egg is a classic too.
I do want to try shrimp, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I don't use water anymore. I put foil over the water pan (aka piedmont method) which acts simply as a heat break. It's a lot neater this way and I get better...
I think some more bark will help. The outside if smoked well will mix with the inside meat as you pull or chop to distribute the smoke taste. It won't be as smoky as something like ribs or a thin piece of meat. You can't just eat the inside meat to get the smoke flavor.
The finishing sauces...
I like smoked chuck pulled. I slice the brisket. I find the taste pretty similar, so go for whatever you've got. Chuck is often cheaper per lb around here, so is a good alt to brisket.
Use sand or the piedmont water pan method. IMHO, you're wasting your time and energy with water. I don't believe the moisture from the steam you're creating will significantly impact the moisture of your meats.
That said, it's your smoker. Use it how you want. I've been water-free for over a...
