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.

Totally get that, I grabbed a data blocker too after a sketchy port in Vegas. Ward.emery has a point though, my battery anxiety is way bigger than my data fear.

Forty-five bucks for a pan that flakes into your mud? That's insane. I'd be so mad, especially after the guy said it would save time. You basically paid extra to ruin your materials and waste an afternoon. My old steel pan has dents and everything, but at least it's just steel. That fancy coating stuff always seems to fail at the worst time.
