I have an "older" (i.e. pre-2009) WSM. For longer cooks I use the Brinkman charcoal bowl as a water pan as suggested on these pages. It works wonderfully although the Brinkman pan hangs down pretty low and is close to the charcoal.
Since the new 18.5" WSM advertises a larger water pan, I'm thinking of ordering one as a replacement part from Weber.
In another thread folks are complaining about limited clearance from the charcoal even with the new Weber pan.
Can anyone comment on which actually gives more clearance (the Brinkman charcoal bowl vs. the new Weber water pan)?
Much appreciated!
