Okay, so I put a pan of water under my brisket in the Oklahoma wind and it actually saved the cook.

I was about to lose a $90 packer cut to the dry air last weekend, but putting a deep hotel pan full of hot water on the rack below it kept the bark from turning into a brick (you know, the kind you can't even cut).

The old water pan trick is a lifesaver in dry weather. My first brisket in Arizona turned into shoe leather before I tried it. Now I always keep a cheap aluminum pan with water on the lower rack. It's just cheap insurance against the wind stealing all your moisture.

How much water do you usually put in the pan?
