Good grief! Where did you find a system like that?
It was ex-NASA. But it's a bit finicky, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. For one thing, it can get quite hot when we have the fire lit, and I'm always a bit worried that the pod might get jammed half-way.
........leading to a serious case of burnt fanny
Exactly. I keep a long pole handy in case something goes wrong, so that I can stick it up if the need arises. It doesn't really get much use, though.
Possibly a change of Fanny's usual position is required ?
Maybe length isn't the answer, possibly cir cum frence is required ?
We had a very surprised looking squirrel use it one day. Of course, we couldn't persuade it to climb back into the pod, so we had to let it out on to the balcony. Fanny took umbrage and wouldn't use the pipe for nearly a week. Cost us nearly CHF15 in cat-litter.
Should have sent her to Paquis in Geneva
Do they sell cheap cat-litter?
