Matt is correct, not knowing your smoker, he gave you the best answer. Whcich model you you have? Try going online to Brinkman and maybe you can download the instruction manual, which probably will be in PDF format.ya, you should have a heavy pan that is probably cast iron. That will be for your chips. It will need to be closest to the flame. The water pan which is just a light weight pan will be right above it.
