Water tray

[orduckie]

What's the proper way to use it. Use water in it all the time? What is purpose of the water tray?

The water tray is a heat sink. It keeps the temps in the smoker more steady & some say it helps keep the meat moist with water in it.. Whether you use water or not is a personal preference. Some use water, some use sand or lava rocks, Some just run it dry.
