Welcome!!


Having used my WSM for several months now........I feel qualified to
answer--

Several people in here have tossed the water pan, and cook direct...with
good results.
I kept my pan, and fill it with sand, then foil to alleviate clean-up. I
plan on trying some ribs sans/ pan this spring.....be interesting to see any
differance.
Check out this site, if you haven't already.
