Frank621, the drip pan serves 2 purposes.  1) It helps heat up the pit faster by making the pan hotter and 2) When the drippings drop onto the hot pan, it sizzles and creates steam, aroma that helps break down the meat a little faster.  Gives us that wonderful smell that lingers around the yard and neighbor hood.

It sucks when things like that happen.. but at least you have a nice cooker.  I think if you cut the opening up from the fire box to the cooking chamber you would be able to reach temp with no problem.

good luck.

aaron.

 Just to let ya'll know, I have the pit in the shop and am making the mods to it now.  I am making the intake bigger, three large holes in back that has a slides to adjust temp.  There will also be 1 holes on each side of firebox as well.  Will cut out throat bigger into cooking chamber.  Also, cut and capped one smoked stack nearest firebox and made the smoke stack farthest away bigger in diameter and about three feet tall.   Will post pics soon.
