Hi Guys,

While smoking on my 18.5 WSM a few weeks I go, I had accidentally let the water pan go dry and I had not foiled it. The result was all the drippings and fat cooked on/ was baked on the water pan.

I took let the water pan loosen up by soaking it in water, reheating it, and scrubbing it off with a sponge and a little steel wool. I got some of the crud out but now i can see something silver under (yikes!) im afraid i got some of the porcelain coating off!

what do you guys think? anyone ever get this too?

I will post pics but I am trying to figure out how to do it.

I would think it would take more than doing that once to scrape the coating off. I've hit it with some scotch Brite on the back of a dish sponge a few time. I probably did some damage but I didn't see silver.
 
Throw away the water pan and use a foil covered clay saucer. Problem solved! My pan has never seen smoke since I bought my cooker 4 months ago.
