Watched a guy at the Memphis in May contest use a water pan vs. no water pan on the same smoker.
The ribs over the water pan were way more tender and didn't dry out at all, even after 5 hours. The other rack was a bit tough. Does anyone else swear by a water pan for pork ribs?

Honestly I've done both ways side by side like that and got the opposite result. The water pan ribs came out kinda soggy, like they steamed more than smoked. The bark was weak. The dry rack had way better texture and bite. Tbh I think it just adds another variable to mess with. If your fire control and temps are solid, you shouldn't need it.

See this with everything, simpler usually works better.
