You went and built it to dang air tight so open all vents intake and exhaust and leave the lid ajar until the heat goes back to what you want then start slowly adjusting vents except the exhaust. Make sure the ash is not blocking the intakes. One last thing grab the lid firmly and give the barrel a good shake and watch to see if the temp starts to rise, I would do that before anything else.

P.S. add more fuel than what you did before and move this post to Q talk.
