I've seen alot of talk about using a clay saucer to achieve higher temperatures and a more steady cook in the ProQs and WSMs, and I was just wondering where people get the clay saucer from? When you use it, is it a replacement for the metal water pan, or do you put the clay saucer into the metal water pan? All help is greatly appreciated

Two main reasons. It helps achieve higher temperatures and secondly it is more stable as you don't suffer the effect of the water heating up and then evaporating.
You would use it inside the water pan covered in foil.

Ah cool so it's as simple as that? I wasn't sure whether it was some bespoke thing that I was looking for. If that's how easy it is to get something to use for it, then I'll pick one up and give it a go I might take the water pan in with me to get the correct size

That's not a bad idea at all, if you find one that fits perfectly buy two!!
That's exactly what I did. I got strange looks from the people at the center but eventually found the perfect fit. Make sure its the unglazed orange ones
