Dennis, I'm still using the Weber pan. It works fine with sand. The only problem with it and sand is that the extra weight seems to magnify the already shakey fit you get with it. One of these days, mine will probably dump a load of sand on my coals. /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif
Then I'll break down and order the Brinkman pan.
Edit- Dang, beat out AGAIN by Randy! /infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif
