Got the 18.5" about 2-3 months ago and LOVE IT (except for that huge water pan)
I am having one heck of a go without using the water pan! I cant seem to keep the tmp. under 275. The last couple times I have used leftover charcoal (KBB) and light up about 1/2 to 3/4 of a weber chimney. And just cant keep the temps down. Now if I add that BIG OLE water pan to it I have NO problems at all. But if I have to add some more wood or stir coals there is no room to get in there. Maybe I am adding to many HOT coals?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks KyleB
