Default What do you place your grill/smoker on? OT

Sorry for going a tad OT, but this might amuse you.

When our son was married, we had a whole hog brought in for the guests
the night before the rehearsal. Our deck at the time was elevated 20'
above the ground behind our house, and connected to it by a 25' long
walkway or bridge. That way, it was back in the trees.

We had a very large dog at the time who loved to make "nests" in several
different locations. One was under the deck.

There were about 25 friends and relatives on the deck when the caterer
brought the pig. It was a small hog and the "tray" was a bread tray
he'd gotten from a grocery store. During the course of 25 people seeing
if they could eat an entire pig <grin>, a lot of the juice and fat
dripped through the tray and then through the decking. The main drip
was almost directly over where the dog had her favorite nest- and
coincidentally was where she had perched that evening. I guess she
thought that she'd died and gone to heaven. The grease was dripping
down faster than she could even lick it up, so she decided to enjoy it
more by rolling in it while it rained pig fat on her back, sides and head.

Well, after she'd had her fill, she decided to come up on the deck and
join the party- despite the deck being normally off limits to her.

Then, while all the folk wondered what kind of dog she was- covered with
grease, dirt and pine straw. . . she SHOOK.

That ended the party for some of the folk, who went back to the hotel to
shower and change. My best friend and I got her into his pickup and we
took her to the vet for a scrubbing. We were charged for two dog
scrubbings, she was so covered.
