My uncle swore by putting a pan of water in the smoker for brisket, said it was the only way. Tried it on a 14-pounder last weekend and the bark turned to mush.

That bark turning to mush is a real bummer. What kind of smoker were you using, and did you have the water pan right under the meat or off to the side? That placement can make a huge difference.

Yeah, saw a video where a guy said putting the water pan on a different rack from the meat helps keep the bark crispy. Makes sense since it's not getting steamed directly.
