do you put a bowl of water in that too?
Nah, I never found water made any difference. I just have a pizza pan set up as a heat diffuser above the charcoal basket
Where do I get these pizza pans? A link would be grand! Tar!

I'm assuming it's stone or similar... Will have a gander. Guess I need to measure up so I get the right size. Would I use it on the brackets where the water pan rests in the wsm?

Oh for a WSM? Just foil over the water pan
No need to buy anything else

Honestly mate, the water pan will be doing a better job than a pizza pan could
If you want to bolster it a bit, then a pizza stone in the bottom could work. Either that or some sand

OK, so looking into it, I'm gonna need to by a new large BBQ to replace my one that's knackered (ticking all my requirement boxes).
Then look to a dedicated smoker or either the WSM, proq excel 20 or attempt to make one.......
