Just a thought. I have heard the pros and cons to water in the pan. Some use the ceramic disc others just dry. I was wondering if the ceramic briquettes would work. Put them in the pan, a layer of foil.. Anyone tried that?

Marty,I don't see why that wouldn't work. But I would do a trial run,either a dry run of the WSM or a small short cook,maybe a couple slabs of ribs,first. To see if the temps are acting right,AND you won't have a whole mess of meat possibly ruined. But give it a whirl and let us know how it works. This could be the next variance for a heat diffuser!

Everything I have done so far has been with water, I'll have to give it a try..

I'm not so sure it's going to be that easy. Went by Wal-Mart today and they don't sell anything that even resembles the ceramic briquettes. Looked in all of their gas grills, not a one used them. Am I that out of date? Maybe Lowes

A lot of 'closeout' stores have them for sale as well.
This may be an old thread but I did a search to see if anyone had tried this because I'm actually having a difficult time finding a clay saucer larger than 10". However, locally they're blowing out a bag of ceramic briquettes for $6 plus change. I think I'm going to pick some up today to try out.
