Wait, you chipped away creosote with a camera up there?

But isn't the real skill just giving people what they ask for?

Ever feel like you're just babysitting a stubborn piece of meat for hours? I've been there, watching the temp like a hawk while the flat just dries out. @taylor.susan is onto something with that spray before wrapping, it's saved a few of my briskets from turning into leather. Cranking the heat after wrapping is the only way I keep my sanity now. That stall can ruin your whole day if you let it.
