Helloise Has Got Nothing On Me

My gas grill is designed so that the grease that results from cooking drains out the bottom of the grill in two places. You need to place aluminum cans with their tops cut off underneath the grease exits, attaching them by means of wire hangers. The cans tend to fill up rather quickly and it is not the easiest task in the world to cut the top of the can off while maintaining the can's structural integrity. Yesterday I happened upon a much better solution.

When you purchase single malt Scotch the bottle usually comes in a protective container. If the container happens to be metal all you have to do is punch a couple of holes in the sides at the top (easily done with a flat edge screwdriver) and viola you have a much deeper and easier to attach grease pit for your grill.

Reason #132 why you should always drink good Scotch.
