I hear ya and agree. I was thinking back to my first cooks. When I was having trouble controlling temps on top of the added stress of ruining my meat. I found it less stressful to try do a dry run. To take some time and experiment a little. Then after a couple of hours of playing with it and achieving a steady temp, add a fatty or two. Something on the cheaper side. I agree though, there's no reason to let it run on for hours. Just maybe that he could scale it back a bit until he gained more confidence.
