WSM Water Disposal Question

[Brian Burke]

Hi folks.

Where do you guys dump your water bowl? I don't want to use any drain in the house because there's grease in the water. But I'm worried about dumping it on my property because I think it'll attract cats? Any opinions?

I just dump mine in the rock bed and hose it down. I have done this twice since having my WSM and so far not had an issue. But I would stay away from pouring into the drains.

I save the families old milk containers and put the water in them.

Stop using water and eliminate the question

When I use water, I pour it over the spent ashes in a dedicated ash can. They absorb the water pretty good. After a few days, when they are dead, I dump the ashes in a trash bag and set it out for the garbage collector.

I often wonder what he thinks when he sees all the beer cans, ashes, and empty charcoal kraft paper bags. LOL

He thinks "I wish I was invited to that awesome cookout!"

Hi Brian,

Several similar ideas listed in this article I wrote: Cleanup, Maintenance & Storage - Dispose of Water Pan Waste

Thanks, everyone. I know there are two sides to the use water/don't use water debate. I've only done 2 smokes so far so I need a ton more under my belt to have an opinion on that.
