Do you use water in the WSM with low and slow brisket?

[Chris in Louisiana]

I use a dry pan for High Heat Brisket, but I always put water in the pan for overnight low and slow cooks of butts and brisket. I just sleep better that way, even though I know many folks are comfortable without the water.

I don't use water in the water pan for any cook.
