    I've done water and no water.  All water does is increase the cooking time in the egg and prevent bark as others have mentioned.  Beauty of the egg is you don't need a water pan.  This is the only cooker I've cooked on that retains moisture in meat by design.  No need to mess with that!

    Yes.  I own a blue egg!  Call Atlanta if you don't believe me!
