recommended size/volume of a water pan for a 22" weber kettle?

[lebowski888]

Wondering if anybody has run experiments to find an ideal size for a water pan on a 22" Weber kettle? What might be the minimum / maximum range? Would a taller, longer pan be better than a short wide one, using the same volume of liquid?

I had been using disposable pans for a couple of years, but I want to buy something that's easier to empty. I've dumped smoky, oily water on myself one too many times with the flimsy disposables.

edit: The SnS isn't possible for me right now. I live in Ecuador. Cost to import and ship runs about $110, plus the cost of the product

One word. SnS.

Agree with Hulagn1971 ^. Before I helped develop the SnS though, I used a regular bread pan/meatloaf pan full of hot water set right over the coals banked to one side. Worked great. Guessing roughly 1 US quart, give or take of course.

Same here. just a cheap dollar store loaf pan, and a cheap metal baking dish for a drip pan.

Thanks, Good idea. In fact, I want one, but The SnS isn't possible for me right now. I live in Ecuador. Cost to import and ship runs about $110, plus the cost of the product

Dang.

As already mentioned...a cheap loaf pan is perfect. You don't really even need to clean it. Just rinse it off occasionally.

Awesome. I found a loaf pan that will be perfect! Thanks dudes

+27 on the loaf pan. Get two. Pie pans, rek pans and the like work too.
