Yes, you can put the water pan over the heat. I don't use a water pan at all though. Propane is a moister heat (I know, sounds funny) than wood or charcoal, so it may not be necessary. You might also put foil between the burners you are using and the cool side just to protect the shoulder from direct heat. I would put a pan under the meat, on top of the burners to catch drippings. Good luck!
