I don't use a water tray in mine either. I don't see any reason why it would affect the pellets, unless you dump the water into your hopper!

Nope, don't use one. As kruizer mentioned, never saw a need to do so.

Nope. Don't use one.

some of the pellet smokers are designed to use 1, you cant use a blanket statement to not use 1, on some they use it to help even temps out ect , have fun its addictive lol

Count me in the water pan camp.

In theory it could be beneficial for pellet burners, but generally the airflow through the cooker is too high and the water pan won't raise the humidity in the cook chamber much. Vertical cabinets with a water pan above the firepot have the best implementation.
