Water Pan Cover Compatible with Weber Smokey Mountain 18/18.5" Smoker

Its basically an overpriced deep pizza pan. If you are buying it to bake pizza save your money and go with something cheaper. But if you are planning to use this as a grease catcher and cover for your WSM water bowl it is perfect and worth its weight in gold. This pan fits the water bowl on my 18 1/2 WSM perfectly. It makes clean up a breeze when you foil this pan and sit it inside your water bowl. I have the older shallow water bowl and this cover though deep still allows me to use water, sand or lava rocks in my water bowl with this cover ontop. I have spent lots of money on accessories for my WSM in the past including 50 bucks for a hanging rack. So $30 for this cover is not really too crazy. And it does and excellent job at keeping grease tamed and not in the water bowl, preventing a watery grease mixed mess. So if you are on the fence. I say buy it. Yes, you could probably run around town looking for a pizza pan on your own that fits your WSM and save a couple of bucks. But this cover saves you that hassle and it's well made Aluminum. Plus if I ever decide to make Deep Dish Pizza in my WSM. Now I have a pan for it. No regrets.

only a petty criticism. Has two stickers on the bottom of the water pan that do not come off easily, which is a minor issue. Decided not to bother pulling off the stickers. Will see what happens when I use my smoker next time...

I bought this pan for my 18" WSM, and it fits perfectly. I don't use water in the water pan, so don't need to concern myself with that. I used to foil my water pan in an attempt to catch drippings. However, even the large, heavy duty foil isn't big enough to cover the water pan completely. The foil does however do a fine job with this water pan cover.Cleaning this cover is much easier. If the foil doesn't catch every bit of grease, the water pan cover fits into our sink much better than the entire water pan that comes with the smoker. It's similar to washing off a pizza pan, quick and easy. Used it for the first time a couple days ago. Held up well, with no warping.Glad I made this purchase.

Love how this attached perfectly to my smoker! It was so much easier to discard the grease, especially since I lined the pan with tin foil. I highly recommend this pan!

It's a little pricey for what it is, that's why I took off a star. The product is decent though.

This pan saves so much time cleaning up and allows using the water bowl in my 18” WSM Smoker. I lined it with foil and place over the water bowl. It catches all the drippings. Just wrap up the foil when done smoking and toss into the garbage. No need to foil line and clean the water bowl anymore.

Anyone that's ever smoked a butt, or two, above an uncovered water pan knows the disgusting mess waiting for you after a cook. I used foil to cover my water pan after making the above mistake. When done right, it keeps your pan clean, but it's a hassle to get the right fit. I used this cover for the first time last weekend. Perfect fit and it was super easy to clean afterwards. I just took a hose to it and it's good as new. I feel like an infomercial salesman, but it's a super simple solution and I wish I had purchased it earlier.

That’s works great for WSM keeps gunk out of water pan.
