At my brother's and his wife made this awesome Greek style yogurt and herb marinated chicken in the smoker. With titziki sauce, hummus, pickled veggies, etc. Sadly no pics.
Just tip it over and drain the oil out of the fill pipe. 😁
Sorry. It sounded funnier in my head.
Red locktite only comes loose after you heat it up with a torch. I'm afraid you'll need to replace or remove those plastic bits since they'd be melted.
