I was lucky enough to finally rescue a 22.5" WSM from Craigslist:

The good news is that it's like new and I got it for $150, the bad news is that the guy lost the water pan (how do you do that? :doh:).
So here are my questions - Do I need to bite the bullet and spend another $50 on a water pan from Weber? Is there any sort of substitute that will fit? Do I even need a water pan?
Until now, and in all of my years on this site (since the beginning, and even before), my only "smoker" has been my New Braunfels Bandera. I long ago stopped putting water in that pan, either using it empty, or with sand and foil. All of my other Q'ing has been on my various kettles. My water pan experience is kinda limited :wink:
I'm open to suggestions, so fire 'em at me! Thanks!
