Killing time browsing You Tube Videos, a lot of contradicting information. Almost all saying use a water pan, I use a drip pan but have never needed water, egg keeps food moist. Soak your Chips/chunks, have never done this either, not enough O2 to make a chunk burn (flame) generally. Also saw an abundant use of smoking wood, almost half lump half wood. Never used more than 3 or 4 chunks and got plenty of smoke. Saw several other things but these stuck out. Glad I am not new to this and watching trying to learn, I was lucky in that I found this forum before I got my egg and had a pretty good head start. So newbies be careful I suggest this forum way over You Tube !

    Great point!

    For 9 years I taught BGE cooking classes for my dealer. These were not preaching classes but 2.5 hours paid attendance classes. Newbies seemed to hang on my words and many took notes while I fed them well! I always talked up the value of the forum! I also always had hand out sheets so if someone didn't remember they could look back. To this very day I can think of only 4 people who ever registered and participated. None are still here today. I quit suggesting to my dealer the value of the forum as she doesn't get it either.

    As Yogi Berra said (and applies even more today):
    "You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there."
    And with all the easily available information packaged as knowledge out there, it's no surprise what you can find.

    I've learned a lot of stuff off youtube vids, however... just because someone shoots a vid on their cell phone doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.
