A squirrel in my yard in Boise just wrecked my new suet feeder
I hung a fresh block of peanut butter suet on a shepherd's hook near my patio last Tuesday, and a big gray squirrel managed to chew through the plastic cage in under an hour. I heard a crash and found the whole thing on the ground, empty. Has anyone found a truly squirrel-proof way to offer suet without putting it in a metal cage that scares off the woodpeckers?

That "metal cage that scares off the woodpeckers" is the real problem. You could try a hot pepper suet block, since birds can't taste the heat but squirrels hate it. It's a decent workaround that keeps the feeder itself simple.
