So after going through a bunch of threads I've noticed people don't use the water pan. When I got my smoker a couple years ago the instructions said that it helps keep the meat moist and a number of recipes I found online also used it, to the point that many suggested different liquids to put in it to enhance flavour. So, what do you all think, are the water pans useless or do they help with moisture? Does filling them with apple cider really make any difference to the meat?
