Thanks all! I did remove the pan and used the lower grate and grilled them. They turned out fine. Next time I'll have a better handle on how much charcoal to use. I did throw in a couple of wood chunks. Gave the meat a nice smokey flavor. Hickory.

Anyone have any suggestions on grilling steak/chicken fajitas on the WSM? I was going to remove the pan and then grill away. Anyone do anything different?
Thanks guys. Brisket is in at 8am. Thermostat on WSM reads 200, my drop in Therm reads 225. Low and slow. Water will evaporate after a while and I'll throw the chicks on for a couple hrs...depending on how the brisket looks.
I am going to smoke a brisket (7lb) on Christmas (figure 7-8 hrs at 200 on the WSM 18). With about 2-3 hours before dinner I was going to put the beer can chickens in on the bottom rack. I will put the brisket in pan and foil it at that point. That is my plan.
Any suggestions? Think that...
