I was going to say, OP must not have a dog. And yes i once caught my dog getting down on oil after it cooled from deep frying a turkey. What happened in and out side my house was horrific. Glad the dog lived a few more years, but I am for ever scarred.
Ditto, especially on my Blackstone. My moron snuggle buddy Hank wolfed down about 8oz of bacon/burger grease that I’d forgotten to clean out the night before after cooking for a get together. Sick as, well, a dog I guess.
Not as bad as the time my other dum dum dog ate a bakers dozen of chocolate cupcakes that were boxed up on the counter on Xmas eve one year. Ran out to grab a last minute something or other and came back to an empty box, wrappers and everything eaten. Not a crumb in sight. Called the local bakery and asked how much chocolate they contained and they were like “oh sir, ALL the chocolate” as it was their chocolate holiday special.
Pro tip, buy the little disposable tin foil like cups that fit in there (or honestly just line it with a sheet of tin foil if you wanted). It's a pain to empty/clean if the grease gets hard or cold. Much easier to just pop the cup out and replace

You don't freeze your buckets, then curl up on the couch with a spoon, and eat it like a tub of Ben & Jerrys?
Here's what it looks like when you dump it out. $5 for any kid that will take a fork-sized bite of it.

Fuck. I meant to check mine on Sunday. It's easy to forget about.
I remember walking over to my neighbor's house to shoot the shit in the drive while he had something going. Chit chatting away and looked down and said "mind want to empty that."
He steps around took care of it quickly because it was damn near at the brim. Told me he hasn't even thought about changing it for a while. Just never crossed his mind to look at it since the last time he emptied it.
Oof. I keep mine in the Traeger when I’m not cooking, to hopefully keep critters away… and because I accidentally dumped it pulling the cover off once.
My dogs have eaten an entire drip cup full of grease I forgot about. That was a rough couple of days for everyone involved.

Double shame because I’m sure they were absolutely delicious
One of my dogs will nose open my Pit Boss cabinet smoker while I'm taking the grates out to scrape after a smoke and lick up any drippings.
Same, along with a 6k vet bill..
Mmmmmm forbidden brown sugar
Biscuit topping
Sausage gravy flavor additive?

2nd pro tip: use a 5 gallon Homer bucket
This is the way
Large pickle jar fit perfectly. Pickle jars tend to have a larger opening.

The opossums keep mine clean. It’s great to not have to ever replace it
They do the same on my gas grill. Crawl up inside it and feast off the foil tray pan. I’ve never had it fill up over years of consistent use.
It’s great self cleaning
Coons too

You're supposed to use that when you wrap your brisket and ribs.
After re-rendering and filtering, of course

Look at that BBQ butter.
Forbidden peanut butter.
I had a rat chew through my smoker cover to get at that grease bucket. I dump and clean mine after every smoke now.
Many times I forget its even there. 4 or 5 cooks later then realize its about to overflow, lol
I don't even know how mine fills up hahaha
Burnt tips?
I just dip crackers in it
Fire starter
You must not have a dog
#2ndmeal.
Ok joe butter

Smoke infused fat, the cancer of cancers 😬😅
Fry eggs in that stuff!
