Tuning plates and water pans
Has anyone tried tuning plates in their pits with a water pan above them? If so I would like to know the results. I have been thinking about trying it.

I just thought that steam from the water pan would keep meat moist and catch drippings.

I'm looking to build pit out of a 250 gallon propane tank. Trying to figure out best way to get even heat.

I just put the water pan (if I use one) on the cooking grate directly above the baffle. Other than helping to temper the temp swings some, I dont see that it does anything to the meat. As far as catching the drippings, I have an empty foil pan under the meat with foil on it, I just remove the foil for easy cleanup after the cook, and this doesnt get the smoker messy. If I want the drippings, I will just get them from the foiled pan just the way I do it

Tuning plates + no water pan for the win!
