When I ordered a stand for my #2 (got tired of bending over) I ordered the "Sasha Flavor Saver". It makes it really easy to add a water pan. I put about an inch of water in it, and hang it directly over the heat source. Every time I've used it so far, I pull it out with more liquid than I put in it. After the monster 16# brisket, it was dang near overflowing from the meat juices dripping down into it.
