I'm trying to visualize the tubes running under the grates and I keep thinking what a pain in the arse it will be to clean.

The Lang pits weld in two plates to create a "V" shape under the grates which collects the rendered fats. A raised partition is welded to the plates on the smoke exit side(not the firebox/chimney) side. They then cut an opening at the bottom of the "V" and weld a pipe which extends all the way through the bottom of the pit which has a gate valve attached to it. This allows you to easily hose out the pit without the water creeping back into the firebox. Just place a galvanized bucket underneath the valve and spray away.
I'm not sure if that came out clearly at all. Check out the pit below and you can see the gate valve.
