The water vapor combines with the smoke, which helps the smokiness penetrate deeper into the meat you're cooking. The humid environment inside the smoker helps keep the meat from drying out. The water pan also catches the drippings from the meat, keeping them off of the heating element, and adding aroma to the evaporating liquid.

Charcoal tastes better hands down. But, I achieve close to the same taste with wood chips in my propane grill.

Mine has en enclosed bottom so the juice from things never touches the burner so I can soak wood chips and toss them in the bottom tp create a smokey flavor. You can also buy a small wood chip holder for the open burner grills.

That said, charcoal still tastes better.

But gas is more convenient when it rains or we need a quick meal, and since weight is an issue with out setup we just carry the BabyQ.
