What's worse is if this same thing happens with a rattlesnake, and you have 6 dogs. You DO NOT want to lose track of where that SOB is. It's big fun to have to crawl under your deck on your hands and knees with your shotgun to face down a hot buzzing Western Diamondback. Big fun...
Hogsfan, it was the mess on the floor that made me look for another method of cleaning the ashes out and I came up with this method. There is no mess and 3 or 4 scoops with the can and into a waiting ash bucket is all that it takes.
