The Benefits of Using a Barbecue Water Pan
When you use a barbecue water pan, you are creating a two-zone indirect heating area, making it ideal for cooking at a low temperature. This method is often used with three-burner or two-burner grills, and is particularly useful for roasting or barbecuing meat at a constant low temperature. If you are concerned about environmental impact, you can also use aromatic liquids such as apple juice or beer to flavor the water and add flavor to the meat.
The use of a barbecue water pan will ensure that your food does not burn or drip on the charcoal. Moreover, the water will keep the air inside the cooking chamber moist, preventing dripping fat from splattering onto the charcoal. According to Aaron Franklin, a James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of Franklin Barbecue, a water pan is essential, even for a backyard grill. In addition, the water pan will prevent the meat from drying out, because the water that condenses on the colder surface of meat will reduce the risk of burning.
A water pan is especially beneficial when you want to cook at low temperatures for a long time. It can help your meat to cook evenly, as the excess moisture will prevent the food from burning or dripping fat from falling on the charcoal. Besides preventing the meat from drying out, it can also help produce good-looking smoke rings. It will delay the formation of barbecue bark, allowing more smoke to penetrate the meat. Lastly, a water pan can also prevent the meat from becoming dry or soggy during the cooking process.
