Impromptu Rainguard

I have seem the many posts on using a aluminum vent stack as a rainguard. My intention is to get a couple - someday.
Well, during tonight's cook - I had suddenly had the need!
Here's what I came up with with the stuff I had on hand:
The fry basket from a Cajun cooker - minus the handle and a lid from a pasta pot:
First the basket:
Then the lid:
The basket gives enough room that you can open the daisy wheel pretty wide - although with it wide open there's really no need to cover it!

That's a great idea.
One potential downside is the smoke staining the surface. You might consider that old Boy Scout trick of rubbing a cake of soap on all the surfaces prior to using it - makes it easier to clean (at least we thought it did when we were 12.) Or just oiling it well.
