Thanks for all the good reading the past few years. I found a free crummy old water smoker while cleaning out a rental a few years ago. I used and learned on it to see if I would like the process. It was a lot of work to maintain temp, but made some tasty food. I got addicted...

Thanks KiwiDemon for the captions! Looks like I have everything here. Gonna be eating BBQ soon!
Is that cast iron pan and holes good enough to get a good temp? Are the holes big enough to get air to the heat/ash out of the way? I guess...there is no ring for the charcoal.
Is that water pan big...
