somebody shut me the fark up.
I had a load of meat on my Lang yesterday and all was going great.
The Pork Butts came off and were perfect. The brisket came off and again I was happy with the results. All that was left was the two 20+ pound shoulders.
Each shoulder was at 175 degrees. The pit temp was dipping a bit so
I put another log on and settled in my chair to enjoy the silence and a cold beer. After a few mins. I see a thick ugly smoke coming out of the stack. I got up because something wasn't right. I open the door on the pit and pulled the shoulders off as I didn't want that ugly thick Gray smoke messing up my shoulders. Then all of a sudden the interior of the pit bursts into flame!
I shut the door quickly and saw that there were flames shooting out of the stack like crazy. This is the first time that this has ever happened to me so I shut down the vents and cut off all the oxygen and the fire died.
I checked my grease valve and it was open and the bucket proved that it was flowing out. I guess some must has pooled and didn't move.
Has this ever happend to any of you? Should I have done somthing else?
