Nope. This unit will actually keep the moisture content too high (for me) just by the way it's design.
Most water is designed as a heat sink for a design flaw (heat from below like a webber) and some will combine that with a juice for flavor. Many webber owners use sand as a way to even out the heat.
No need here.
With 800 degree insulation and a small vent hole, the moisture escaping from the meat tends to stay inside the smoker.
