->  RH> Peaches and pineapple do very nicely on the grill....
-> 
-> True, but only the meat got grilled. The fruit got cooked (poached?) in

Maybe that was the problem?

Barn kitties, from the sound of it.  Or ferals.  They get like that.

Not the brightest idea either, if something goes wrong.  Concrete pipes in
the concrete slab would have been better and a lot more durable.  It's one
reason I'd never want a house on a slab.
