Question About Foiling Water Pan

[jraiona]

Do you foil the inside of the water pan, the outside, or both on a WSM? If I'm not using the water pan should I use a catch pan to keep things from dripping on the coals?

You need the pan in their. It is fine to use it as a drip pan. A lot of people fill it with sand then foil it.

Happy smoken.

Foil the whole thing. I generally don't use anything in it because mine settles in nicely. If doing low and slow, keep the pan in. Some people do take it out when doing chicken or when hanging food or a rotisserie. Hope this helps
