When I quit messing with it there was a big improvement.

Won't an even larger water pan just drain the energy from the fire? I always put in hot water and if a long smoking, fill 1.5" from the top. Saves a lot of time and energy to heat it up. The intakes are very sensitive to adjustment. Once I get it up to smoking range, I choke the intake a 1/3 or so and just let it rock.
