Hi , so my 14.5 wsm is not new and shinny any more and I keep seeing people using direct grilling with no water pan. But normally on the 18 or larger . Is the 14 to close to the heat source any feed back would be appreciated
I would not know about that as I have only seen one 14 in HD. I stopped using them water pan ad I did not need it all my cooks come out nice and mosit without it and I get more even heat across the whole item I am cooking. Once my cooker warms up it will hold a temp within 25 to 40 degrees solid depending outside conditions. I just bought a handsucker fire dial but have not used it yet.
