Can anyone offer any advice or experience on using sand/clay pots in the water pan on a Pro-Q Excel please instead of water. Does it improve temperature stability, temperature range, etc.?

Thanks.

Total search time 58 seconds using the search tool and searching for sand. There are 60+ other hits you can go to as well.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to use the search function early this morning on my phone, and kept getting a blank screen saying "Information" with nothing on it. Having used it on the PC today, very impressed with it. There is some really useful stuff on here.

Thanks.

Re: Clay saucer Q
I was struggling with keeping the temps up in my proQ excel, inexperience maybe, but replacing the water for a clay saucer just worked for me. I also find I can get the "bowl" out and use the remaining hot coals for grilling sausages and burgers, very fiddly job with it full of hot water.

More importantly neither sand or clay disc need topping up partway through a cook
