just got the brinkmann water pan for my WSM, i am stoked!! love the clearance it allows and it fits perfect, never liked the wber pan and the way it was right on top of the fire.. looking at a Waygu Brisket for labor day.. no high heat here....LOW & SLOW!!!!!

later Glenn in SC

I got mine a while back - its way better than the stock bowl. I use the stock bowl now as a "dome" over my meat when I have it sitting out at room temp.

Brinkmann "water" pan or "charcoal" pan?

I used the charcoal pan in my 18.5".

The charcoal pan - I made the mistake of buying the water pan and it was too small. Luckily Brinkmann's customer service was pretty good. I sent the water pan back and got a charcoal pan in just a couple of days. Been using it ever since when I do low and slow.

I went to "Bass Pro Shops " this weekend looking for a charcoal pan but they only had 2 water pans so I'm still looking.

I ordered the Brinkmann pan this past Friday and it came today. I'm really pleased with the way it fits and the extra clearance. It was well worth the money.

I picked up my Brinkman pan at a local Ace Hardware. They had a few stacked up next to their floor model WSM.
Cost $10.00 in hand.
