I haven't used the drippens from the drip pan, but I have put a pan inside the smoker or smoked with the meat in a pan.
The pan outside the smoker may have cooled enough during the smoke to not be safe to use.
Everything cools does it not, I mean when food is on the table it cools, I would have to believe it's been over 140 degrees just to render off. Seems like it would be OK, especially if you reheat on the stove to use.
