Netting is hell on snakes, had to free a couple from the strawberry patch a couple years ago, thankfully not rattlers, and then one died and we threw the netting away.

Midnight,
That looks like a smoker I bought from Lowes or HomeDepot years ago, but it would not seal well enough to hold a temperature hot enough to do anything. No manner of fiddling with the vents helped.

This stuff will probably even find it's way into the ocean and take out a few sea turtles before it's over. Living in a beach town I can't begin to describe all the crap washed up on the shore every day. Other than plastic bottles, the worst things seem to be plastic netting, sippy-cup straws, and plastic tampon applicators. At least broken beer bottles eventually tumble into something decorative.

Yeah, it's a super cheap model as far as smokers go. I do like a tower smoker...especially having the water pan between the coals and the racks. Mine didn't seal tight at the beginning. I just wedged a pair of crab tongs into the handle that keep the door shut tight. That, and 15 years of carcinogenic soot buildup keep it pretty air tight!
(Before the crab tongs, I had a tie wire latch made from a coat hanger I'd tie on the door handle...and latch around the side handle. That worked fine as well. I just like having the tongs there as I also use them to adjust/add wood/coal to the fire pit.)

Hmmm. I still have mine, but it's become porch art instead of a tool. Clamping the upper door makes a difference. I'll see if I can get creative.

The Krispy Kreme thing was funny for about 2 minutes. I didn't make it past that. How do you go on about doughnuts for 8 minutes??? I wish I had one RIGHT NOW!!

That would be the point.
Yeah, most folks under 25 can push something into the inane range.

The donut fairy did not come. Fresh crispy cinnamon toast instead helped a bit.

Funny you'd mention that!! Yesterday after seeing the bear claw and the fritter, I made cinnamon toast for myself. Not the same but it was GOOD nonetheless!!

I like the chunky pieces of salt at the bottom of a bag of pretzels.
