Well, that's mainly because you cook BBQ, Frohe. Yep, good old meat over
the coals, BBQ.

Last time I used my water pan it had gas in it and I was using it to clean
my fuel pump.

I can't help it; I was raised without knowin what a water pan was for
a cooker. Watched my grandad and daddy both fire up a 55 gallon drum
to cook up some of the best Q in the world.

Lucky you. My daddy used to grill sometimes with Kingsford and Kraft.

Never learned a ****in' thing from that man.

Water pan is for watering the dogs and other critters, isn't it?

I am unaware of the need for a water pan when using a Weber kettle
grill. Usually, an empty aluminum pan placed under the meat to catch
the drippings is all you need when using indirect method.
On the other hand the Weber Smokey Mountain unit does require a water
pan with water directly under the lower meat grill. Worked fine for me.

Required? No. Provided? Yes. Many folks put sand in their WSM pan;
others leave it empty. And then there's those like me, we tossed the
pan entirely. Don't need it!

The water pan does nothing for moisture. It's there as a heat sink to even out
the temp.

I've been putting the water pan down between the two pile of charcoal for
years--never considered anywhere else.
