UDS under construction
2 - 22 inch webers
Gas Webber silver
3 Propane jets
Mud Oven under constuction
1- China Box
1-El Cheapo Electric water smoker
Some say a water pan is used as a heat sink, some say for moisture. The draw of a UDS is that wonderful "like Grandpa cooked "taste, and the long burns. No need for a water pan, trust me.
