    What to put in the water bowl....

    Foil under. the sand collects everything that drips down. Dump foil and sand and start over. Not a lot of work or mess.

    What to put in the water bowl....

    Sand and foil. bbq bubba posted about using sand several months ago. I tried it and won't do it any other way. Thanks again for the tip bubba. Remember, the pan serves as a heat sink to help maintain more consistent temp.

    Rust Damage

    Nice lookin rig. A wire bruch and some sandpaper should do the trick if it's just some surface rust. If it's deep and weakened the wall, it may require some metal work. From the pics, it looks like it will respond to some TLC.

    Well I fired up the Cactus Cooker (GOSM) and smoked me a lemon pepper yard bird. I also threw some mild italian sausages in there with the bird. By the time the bird was done, the sausages had disappeared. I think it was leprechans, because I'd swear I heard someone say they were "magically...
