I wanted to get some ideas on how you have implemented drains on your smokers. Right now, I just have a couple holes on the underside of the horizontal section (24" pipe about 5 feet long) that has a vertial box on the opposite the firebox. The problem is that I need to put pans down to catch the drippings or they end up all over the grass or concrete. How have you implemented your drains to help to control this?

Re: Adding Drain Pipes
I just put a 2 inch pipe on my baffle plate. I cook with it closed and then open it up after the cook, using a 6 inch putty knife to swish the drippings into the hole towards a waiting bucket.
