Foiling An 18.5" Water Pan - A Solution


 
I'm relatively new to using a WSM. Only 3 cooks so far and being so new I just watched YouTube videos lol I saw a vid that showed how to just foil the bottom of the bowl and then keep the inside bowl unfoiled. Keeps the bottom clean and I do what Chris does. I let it set overnight then scrape the top layer of fat off then dump the water into the sink.
 
I just wonder why weber doesn't make pans for the bowl. They sell regular pans, and I bet many people would purchase.
I haven't found foil big enough to cover the 22.5 WSM with just one sheet. So I don't bother..
 
On my first (and so far, only) smoke, I foiled the outside of the bowl, but not the inside. Personally, it seems as though the only person or people to benefit from this process are those at Reynolds Aluminum. The bowl is so easy to clean up; it seems more work to foil than it is worth (imho).
