Based off of yours and big t's suggestions I think I'm going to add a plate about 1/2" below the water/drip pan that spans the entire top of the FB. I'll drill multiple holes on the outside edge to allow smoke/heat to pass through. I'll cut slots on the upper edge of the water pan the length of the smoker like big t suggested. How wide of a slot do you think I'll need? I was contemplating the drip edge as well. I can avoid dripping into the FB by keeping food away from the outside. I can always add it later if I need to. It sounds like you have other CCs to divert heat into but I don't have that. It seems like I'll have to keep the fire pretty small since it will be going straight up into my CC.
Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions or caution you can throw my way will be appreciated.
