Lot's of mention of water pans lately. If I'm using a water pan, there's NEVER any water in it. I use it as a heat baffle. What I do is, crumble up some wads of aluminum foil, place in the bowl, then cover the bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil, slightly dipped in the middle to catch the drippings. Works wonderful. And my bowls are larger than stock. Try it. All I'm sayin'...
