For those of you with ceramic smokers , do you use a water pan when doing long cooks indirect? It almost seems like it's steaming the meat.

I've never used a water pan. I cook pork butts for 15 hours without them drying out but I also cook them @ 225.

No never. Once you have one and know the burp so you don’t burn the hair on your arms you will know what we mean.

I use a drip pan so my plate setter doesn't get all nasty.

Im not against using pans, but you dont really need to with a cermaic. If you want to, then go for it, it wont hurt.

You don't need a water pan for a ceramic smoker. I used one once. Completely unnecessary.
