Reply to "Forgot to Poke A Hole in Foil"

Well forgetting to poke a hole is understandable especially if you set it up after first removing your last smoke! Once I remove my meat I clean up my smoker and set it up for the next smoke minus the wood chunks. I always double check my hole when I add my wood for my smoke. ALSO, I do NOT let anyone clean it or set up for the next smoke but ME!!!!

Well this morning I started smoking 2 slabs of beef ribs. I kept checking the temp but it was not going up as fast as I thought it should. I thought it had started the plateau stage sooner than expected. WELL, my huband went to check on it and discovered my smoker had been UNPLUGGED!!!! UUUUGGGGHHHH It seems my son unpludded it the other night to plug in a flood light so he could use his solar baseball hitter! UUUGGGHHH

I think forgetting to poke a hole is more forgiveable than smoking with out the smoker plugged in!! I feel soo stupid!! UUUGGGHHHH

Hope NO ONE EVER EXPERIENCES THIS!!
