Well we "were" going to have pulled pork for a get together Mon afternoon. Threw a 12lb butt in the smoker about 9pm. It was coming along nicely until about 2:30am. I noticed the temp dropped about 200* so I went and bumped the temp a little. Well about 15 min later I smell something and it is not right. I looked out the back window and see my smoker is blowing flames out of every hole it can find. I shut the gas off and let it burn itself out.
It is about all hard as a rock. It was a grease fire I know that but it was not weeping that bad. I think it lit off the grease from before that collected at the bottom. And the new burner that I put in burns hotter. I went with a cast iron universal burner. It is a low pressure burner.
Looks like I am going to hit the market in the morning and get another one. Then back on the smoker for a couple hours and through it in the oven inside to finish it. I think I can get it done by 3PM.
