Guess I just have good aim. Use an open metal pan and have no problems. I use 5gal "pickle buckets" to store the oil til it is recycled. The local garage lets me dump it in their tank.

Way too familiar with chux, for their intended medical uses. I use cardboard, kitty litter or plywood when needed.

Never was interested in fancy "drain cocks". Just something else to fail or hang up.
