Yea, by all means keep the water pan.
Here is something you might wanna try. Crush a generous amount of garlic and place the cloves in the water pan. Works great with turkey, brisquet also. Gives the meat a great, but not overpowering garlic flavor

You inspired me. I've got 2 slabs of baby's and a small beef eye of round smoking right now. Towards the end, I'll toss in some sausage.

RIBS ON!

Figured I'd share this:

They soaked in marinade for a measly 2 hours.  It consisted of apple juice
beer
chopped garlic
assorted crushed pepper
brown suger

I went with a store baught rub featured in picture 1


THE MEAT:




NOTE:  I left 2 of them with no rub or marinade.  One of our guests is pregnant and I didn't want to chance her not wanting some because of the spices and what not.

Here's my modded brinkman



Here's the oven temp mod (hey it looks cheasy but I can't weld and it WORKS!)



Here's how it looks inside the smoker with the Gas stand, smoker tin, and water pan.



Well I'm off to warm it up...wish me luck

WOW had a huge flare up when the smoker tin completly caught fire.  This didn't happen during the test run but it's under control now.

Only problem is all the chips in it burned up too quickly.  OH well its a learning process.  I'm officially hitting my 1 hour mark and I'm about to "reload" the tin anyways.

You are soaking the chips in water beforehand right? In this situation, you may need to soak them quite a while. You also might conside somehow blocking some of those air holes in your chip box. No big fire without oxygen; what you want is a smoldering burn in there anyway.

HA HA very funny....shut up  ;)

Toad,

I soaked them for about 4 hours.  The chips I'm adding to it are continuing to soak as well.  

I might have to remember to cover the holes up next time because It's rather difficult to do when the thing is hot (lol).

I just reloaded it and didn't have the same problem.  The ribs are juicing (wich I'm assuming is good) and I added 1 can of beer and 2 cans of water to the water pan.

Can't wait though....We are planning on a dinner time of 4ISH....the ribs are holding steady between 215 and 225 and I put them on at 1130.

will post pics of the finished product ruined or not.

OH PS. for sauce I got my favoirte (same brand as the wood chips) Jack Daniels Smokehouse grill BBQ sauce.  I allways add a touch of honey and spice to it as well.

TY again for all the help

Look for the list and send me an E-mail. I'm a kind man, willing to share the wealth.

Call me Johnny BBQseed!

Gto,

I bought a premix from McCormicks Grill Mates.  It was called Pork Rub.  It's really tastey with a slight zip to it.  You can spice it up a bit more but I thaught it was just fine.  



Here's the chips I'm using
