My only point was that when it comes to bbq and smoking, there's not a lot of hard and fast rules. It is more a matter of creativity and personal preference. And, I never said water...

    Getting High Temp in WSM

    Getting High Temp in WSM

    What I do is place the wood chunks on the unlit coals, dump my lit coals in the middle of the unlit, reassemble the cooker and let it come up to temp. Then place the bird on the grill.

    Any Good Tips for the Lid?

    I installed the hinge a couple weeks ago and it works great. Gets the lid out of the way securely. Allows good access to the rack. About the only down side I can think of is your cover might not fit over it.
