I picked up my new Excel 20 from Mark in Mesa on my way to Phoenix for a flight to Seattle. So It sat in my trunk for 2 weeks waiting for us to get home. I got it set up now (have an extra stacker that I will probably only use occasionally) waiting for a weekend tryout.
From what I have read, I think I will fill the water pan half full with sand, then add foil and put water in that. I figure that will be less water to have to heat up.
I do have a question -------has anyone used a charcoal maze with the Excel 20, instead of using the minion method?
