Slickyboyboo...I have my drip pan covered with aluminum foil to make clean up easy including the drain hole so nothing actually drains into the pullout collection tray on the bottom outside front of my MES40. I have never noticed if there is a threaded fitting on the bottom but I'll try and check for you tomorrow before I fire it up.
