I went to smoke a brisket this weekend on the Treager and after two hours I went to check on it. Temp was 380 even though the temp setting was on 250. Controller was going wacko. Took the Brisket out and put it in a Nosco Roaster for the rest of the day to cook while I figure out what was going on.
I had the old three setting contoller laying around somewhere. Found it after some serious digging. Hooked it up. Sheeet, I hooked up something wrong auger motor starts smoking, and not the good kind!
I don't get angry often, but I just had to kick the garbage can like a spoiled teenager grumbling under my breath with not so nice words. The wife felt sorry for me and gave me space to cool down.
Brisket turned out okay considering. Actually pretty good. Got enough smoke and the crispy outside was just fine. Everyone enjoyed it.
After pouting for three days, the wife gave me a kiss on the cheek and said. "Order that Jambo you have been talking about for the last year." God, I love her!:clap2:
Called Jamie and he just happened to have one on the floor and I should have next week. Sometimes disaster's bring good things. Now I have a new toy to try to figure out and lots of experimenting.
