Water Pan...

[Dennis Cramer]

All,

I had ordered the Brinkmann water pan as an upgrade for my WSM but the circumference was smaller than the original WSM water pan. So, in a pinch this past weekend, I palced the bottom grate on top of the charcoal ring. I then just placed the water pan on top of the grate. It was an easy fix to use a larger pan. It was more difficult to add coals (had to take the WSM apart) but was effective. I had read on here that I should have gotten the Brinkmann Charcoal Pan...is that the case or do I need to modify the brackets on the WSM?

Anyways, I've only made pulled pork twice before on my Weber Performer and with not great success...but this time with the WSM it was unbelievable.

Yes, you need the charcoal pan. I think Bass Pro Shop sells them real cheap. Look here.

Funny that Bass sells the physically smaller water pan for more than the charcoal pan. If you live in a state with Academy Sports & Outdoor stores, they also sell them just as inexpensively.

For some reason my Academy stopped carrying them. I ordered four from Bass Pro, to get the most for the shipping charge, and the total, with shipping, came to a little under $24. Less than $6 each, delivered to your door.

Dennis, where did you order you Brinkman pan from? I got mine from Bass Pro and it fit just fine. Mike

I ordered the Charcoal Pan from Bass Pro and am awaiting their arrival.

Initially I ordered the Brinkmann Water Pan and it is smaller than the original WSM water pan
