I don't want to devote a whole lot of time and steel to the drippings if I don't have to. There's already a hole with a bucket hanger on the left side. Looks just like this:

Okay, I see what your up against now.

I'd do the two metal plates welded into a gentle "V" and if you cut them to length just right you could have the drippings fall pretty much right down the existing pipe and bucket. Or you could exercise a bit of redneck ingenuity and simply elevate the firebox side using a few bricks and encourage the drippings/water to move toward the existing bucket when you are hosing it out after cooking.

The pipe idea may work, but I worry about the pipes acting like radiator coils and distributing the heat unevenly in the pit.
