Hey Bob, Good luck and lets know what you used on the mold. And when you return from the beer run. As here is 90 going for a high of 95 with nasty humidity. Summer is trying to hold on, supposed to be in upper 90's this week.

90s here in Indiana too. But after the 8th of September however, the long - range forecast is calling for 70s or below during the rest of September.

the mold will be taken care of this weekend..... i will let you all know .

Not a mold issue but recently I had a mouse problem on the patio- 3 in 2 days. With the summer rains they were heading for high ground. Well, I tracked them to the smoker; came up through the drain hole and set up housekeeping. I used easy off and stripped off the seasoning and other evidence of bbq right down to bare stainless.  Wiped out the heavy stuff then rinsed it with a hose and sponged it. Dried it with paper towels, and then let it air out for a few hours. The inside looked new again.  Added wood and fired it up to re-season. No harm done.

Hey David, sounds like you need a cat or two. I hate mice and also spiders..My neighbor makes wine and I got a couple of corks from him and put in my smokers blow hole.

Hey Bob, send me some of that cool air. This morning was 76 and is going to a high of 96.

I used a large bolt, a washer and JB Weld to hold the washer and bolt together as a steel plug. They cannot gnaw through that.  Totally my fault. For some reason (laziness comes to mind) I did not pull the foil and clean up after my last smoke. Cats are are a good idea but not with a couple of dogs.

Smoke On!

Hey David, Some cats and dogs get along pretty good. But, I think they have to be raised together. Your bolt and washer sound better than my wine cork.
