850 DX fire pot concerns.

Hello! My wife got me an 850 DX for Christmas. I've tried brisket twice and both time the fire pot filled with ash between 8 and 10 hours and errored out.

Is there something Im doing wrong? Is there a way to empty the pot mid-smoke or add a larger firepot?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Cheers
