Can I maintain 250-275 with a waterpan

[KenB]

If using the waterpan, is it possible to maintain 250 degrees for 8 hours?

 

[Len Dennis]

Yes you can.

 

[J E Rice]

Just keep an eye on your vent positions, should be pretty easy.

You don't have to use a full waterpan. Sometimes 1/4 to 1/3 full is useful if outside conditions are cold, rainy or windy.

 

[KenB]

Thanks to all.

 

[V_Rocco]

No problem at all, even with a full pan.

You don't have to use the water for those temps, just an empty foiled pan if you like. Like J E Rice said, just adjust the vents and keep an eye on it

Only thing I do just in case is boil the water on the stove before topping off the water pan during the cook.
