Oooooohhhhh, don't put any more oil, fat or meat trimmings into the

That conflicts with my experience and research. Fats, meats and so on do so
break down and if you have a modestly hot pile (113-130 deg F) no animal is
going to be pawing through it.

The link below goes into considerably more detail on the matter.
