The last time I used the Weber, it started to rain hard just as I was finishing cooking. I slapped the lid on, closed the vents, and went in the house. Shame on me, I went inside and forgot about it. I went to use it tonight and found it with a fair amount of ash in the kettle bowl, most of it wet.

Looking for something to scoop it out with, and I opened the recycle bin and had an idea. With an empty salad dressing bottle, a knife, a pair of scissors, and about 5 minutes time, I came up with this. Works great.

Great idea. Necessity is the mother of inventions :thumb:
 
You have cats, don't you?:twisted:

Seriously though, excellent idea!
 
Ahhh crap... good chance the neighbor's gonna find me going through his trash tonight... again. Theres always this uncomfortable silence while I try to look like I'm NOT going thru his trash... :rolleyes:

Great Idea bro! I'll be putting that to use!
 
I use a paint scraper and scoop it up with a paper plate! Now I have an ash pan so need to crawl in that drum anymore!!
 
I use a milk gallon jug with the same cut out it holds a lot and lasts a couple months and its not like I run out of milk gallon jugs if you know what I mean. Innovating to the task brings a good feeling to all
 
I cut a "scoop" out of the top part of plastic milk jugs. Works fine and costs $0

Yeah, especially since in Montana, you've gotta walk the length of 3 football fields to get to his garbage can, eh?
