Default Sand? What sand.

Morning folks,
Been following the group discussions trying to get a free education, and
since none of you are able to read my mind I guess I have to ask.

On the use of sand as opposed to water in the smoker, what effect does
that have on temperature control? Would the unit tend to run hotter with
sand, or do I not understand the principal involved? I thought that
since water will usually hover at 212 degrees it acted as a stabilizing
force whereas sand can go much higher in temperature. I'm going to do a
rack today, and I am really interested in this because of the ungodly
mess that is left in the water pan to be cleaned up.

Please forgive me for starting a new thread on a discussion that started
recently, but I haven't figured out how to stop Thunderbird from
deleting read messages. Maybe I could get some help there too? Man, am I
getting off topic, or what!

Thanks in advance for the guidance about sand.

Dave
