I seem to recall that burning propane generates a lot of water, which is detrimental to barbecue.

  Well doesn't burning wood also generate water? In addition, doesn't seasoned firewood consist of 10-20% straight up water that boils when the log is burned? Propane doesn't contain water.

    Water is one of the by-products of the combustion reaction, regardless of what fuel is used.

      Not unless the fuel contains only carbon - as charcoal does.

  Depends on the bbq technique; many smokers include a water pan to keep the humidity high (and also to act as a thermal reservoir). Yes, propane and natural gas have lots of hydrogens to combine with atmospheric oxygen to make water.
