Just saw a Franklin bbq YouTube video and he put a water pan in with his brisket...I never have put one in my smokey joe so I was just curious if any of y'all do
I don't use one in my offset. I think what earlier post said was right he is probably using a really cheap smoker for that which i used to have a heat shield when i had a cheap offset. now that i have a better made one i don't find the need for a heat shield.
I use a water pan, two actually in my smoker. I've always used water pans, ever since my early says starting out on the cheapo Brinkman water smokers.
I believe that Aaron uses water pans in his big restaurant smokers also. I've seen pictures and videos which show a stainless steel water pan at t he firebox end.
