Hey Guys,
My SI#2 arrived yesterday and I unpacked it and set it up.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION!!!
I am planning to season it up tonight for a smoke on Sunday afternoon.
I have a question about water pans/trays, and the like.
I noticed on the video that Steve put on the website that he uses a folded up aluminum pan with some water sitting in the bottom of the smoker. This seems a little chincy, so I wondered what some of you experienced smokers are using?
I come from a background of trying to smoke things on my gas grill. I always used a large shallow pan with water/apple juice placed under the meat I was smoking. Can I do the same thing in the SI#2 by putting the pan on a low shelf or will this mess up the smoke/heat distribution? It would seem like a larger pan would also help to catch some of the drippings, etc.
Do you always smoke with some liquid in the smoker?
My first smoke is going to be some chicken wings (recipe I got from Jeff @ smoking-meat.com). Should I use a liquid for this?
