Dave,
I spent enough time lurking on TVWB before I actually aquired a WSM, that I was convinced to go waterless, with a Terra Cotta clay saucer foiled in the water pan. My WSM has never seen water!...
While I have had excellent success using the dry pan method, I might just experiment this weekend, and try water in the pan for my Smoke Day Brisket, and skip the basting ? (I will never know the difference if I dont try it) If it uses too much charcoal with the water, I will probably go back to the dry method, unless the brisket is so much better than I have achieved in the past.
I have done two or three flats, midnight cooks, and have been very pleased with the results. This will be my first timer with a packer ! Is there any other sage advice I should know for doing a packer ? I plan to do a midnight cook starting friday night, with Wolfe Rub Bold. Other than that I am open to suggestions...
