I know there are a few posts on here about using a saucer in a the water pan of ProQ's/WSM, but I am still not 100% clear on what to do, could you experts help me out? (apologies if these questions have been answered before, I have looked through the forums)
I have a ProQ Frontier elite which works fine for low n slow with water in the pan, like many others I struggle to get the temps up beyond 150c with water in, no water the temp shoots up
My questions are
Is it important how the saucer fits inside the water pan, does the saucer have to be a snug fit just inside the mouth of the water pan, leaving a gap between the bottom of the saucer and bottom of the pan?
If the fit is important what is the best size saucer, 34cm?
Apart from being unglazed and not plastic is there anything else I need to consider for the saucer?
Is there any advantage using a saucer over sand in the waterpan?
and the last one, where can buy the right one? I have looked in local garden centres and they are either glazed, to big to fit (40cm+) or small and sit in the bottom of the pan (30cm). Ebay was not much use either...
Thanks guys
