I ended up only putting the mesh on the grease spout. I did a cruddy job and just wrapped the mesh over the tube.. and then pinched it over and held in place with tie wraps. So far no rat has got in via the vents.

Gave it an hour on full... 15minutes to 500f then another 15min to 600f. Grease spigot is meshed up. I think the mesh is to fine -- gonna order some coarser stuff -- but for now it'll do. Caught the bugger on camera -- he was checking out the grill grates that I had left on the front shelf...

Subject says it all! I wasn't certain it was a turd at first -- I had recently done a cheese smoke with a tube -- maybe it was a charred pellet? It was dark outside so I couldn't do a good inspection. Well the next day I looked and there were fresh droppings..:( blech! Anyway -- while...

There was a hint today that they will have a grill on sale --- something "Big" -- maybe the BFG?

I had not heard that -- and find it hilarious!
