IMNHO water gives peppers an acrid taste. We had a discussion about 
it here a few years ago and came to no conclusions. As you say 
(almost) steaming your peppers ain't gonna dry them out fast; so 
forget the drip pan. Try to keep the temperature below 180degF. It 
takes a long time to dry them completely, but once you get them 
imbued with smoke you can finish them off in a dehydrator.

For your wet experiments try roasting a chipotle rubbed fowl with a 
half full beer can in it.
