Distance from Water Pan to Charcoal Chamber in 18.5

[Jeff Boudman]

Does anyone know the distance from the Weber Water Pan and the top of the Charcoal Chamber on the 18.5? I use a Brinkmann pan and want to know how much more charcoal I can add.
I have a Cajun Bandit Coal Ring and it works great. However, I now have all the parts to put a second 18.5 together. I’ll only buy a second Cajun Bandit Coal Ring if that’s the best solution.
Thanks!

My 18 WSM is a 2002 model and I think the water bowl has changed, but I just got a rough measure of 5 to 6 inches from bottom of the bowl to top of charcoal ring. Hard to get exact.

Thanks. Do you know the distance from the water pan to the top of the charcoal chamber?
If not, its no big deal.

If I understand your question correctly the top of charcoal chamber would be the top of the charcoal ring. In my 18" WSM that measurement is about one inch at the center of the ring.
