Can I use a pie tin as a drip pan in the bbq? I'm concerned that it
may be a bit thin.

I'd be more concerned it might melt. You can easily
reach temperatures in a barbeque that can melt
aluminum.

Too thin. It'll burn through, eventually, depending on how close to
the heat it is. See if you can scare up an old commercial-grade pizza
pan, like the kind used to make deep-dish pizza.

I have never had a problem with the foil pans in my ECB. I get them at Sams
club.

So How do you deal with the Weber tin foil pans, then? They work fine
in my world.

melting point of aluminum is 660 degrees C or 1220 degrees F. Well above any
temperature in a grill. Those temperatures could be achieved by direct
contact with the coals as evidenced by throwing a aluminum soda can into a
fire. Once cooled you find nothing but a small nugget in the ashes. IF used
as a drip pan however, your food would be ashes long before the pan melted.
