I never use water in my electric smoker, many others actually fill them with sand to help diffuse heat.

I don't care for "greasy" ss either. I don't use any pork in my SS or snack sticks. The batch I made this weekend was 70% venison and 30% 80/20 beef. Taste and texture is great and not greasy at all.
