Water pan for smoking sausage

[octane2009]

I am trying to figure out when smoking sausage in my masterbuilt with Auber PID and MES cold smoke gernerator. Should I use a water pan?

Nope.

If you want. You can put sand in the water pan to act as a heat sink to even the temp. Though not really needed with a PID controller.

I'm with steve, really no reason to add water, the mes holds enough moisture.

The only time I use water is in my pellet smoker if I have room and it just gives me a better smoke ring.

I was thinking it might not be necessary, Just wanted to confirm Thanks
