• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

I can't make this stuff up,

Some of you know the crap my family is experiencing...so I figured as a stress reliever to BBQ!!
Put on a pork butt before soccer, come back 4 hrs later, the UDS is purrrrrrringggg along at 232*....:-P take a nap, go make some abts, throw a fatty on...ALL is well right? Well I start to feel a burning sensation on my left hand, not sure what it is take a shower and YIKES talk about pain, the hot water just magnified it! I can only figure that while cleaning the jalapenos, I didn't use a glove, I ran out...didn't feel a thing until I started washing dishes...I thought as long as you wash your hands it was okay, apperently not...
Now the other stuff, I hear a "thud" in the UDS, Open the smoker and the rack fell off. Pork butt, ABT's, Fatty...DUMPED picked up the butt, it was foiled, I salvaged the Abt's, pulled out the fire basket, picked out the abts, most were still good, I put back the basket and wonder how did a wood chunk get outside the basket, put the abts back, take the butt in to finish in oven, and go $hit! That was the fatty at the bottom of the UDS!!:-P Pull the basket out, grab the fatty, the basket flames up, I'm trying to put the basket back in the UDS...no gloves, burn my toe, wearing slippers,(flip flops)...I still haven't had dinner,
To not go crazy, you can only laught when crap happens...amazingly I'm very calm, and feel great!
 
BBQ Commandment #1- Thou shall not Q wearing flip flops.

Glad to hear you were able to salvage some food.
 
"Chit Happens Brother"!... hang in there and never ever lose your sense of humor! Aloha! :-P
 
BBQ Commandment #1- Thou shall not Q wearing flip flops.
I thought Commandment #1 was "Thou shall not Q naked." :biggrin:

I'm glad you can laugh at it. It would take me a day or two to laugh about that.
 
Nah...commandment #1 is "Thou shalt not covet thy Brothers smoker" :biggrin: I break that one ALL the time!
 
Keale, glad it turned out okay. Quess what, you are not the first or only one to have had this wonderful experience. Brisket tragedy OMG:eek:...only I didn't burn my toes. Did burn the hair off my hands and arms though. I didn't think it was funny at the time, but by lovely wife thought it was hilarious. :lol: After I calmed down, it did kind of remind me of the monkey and football think. Thanks for sharing the event.
 
In my youth I got a case of poisen ivy and somewhere in the process took a whiz. Shortly after that we headed for Pontiac MI a 8.5 trip pre vehicle AC days.
Ever have your mom pour Calamine lotion on you beans & weenies along side a highway?
I'd take the jap burn anytime...
Hang in there buddy.

Can't say that I have8-) I'd plant some in the yard if I thought the wife would fall for it though:wink::lol:8-)
 
keale - sounds like you had a tough one - at least you are laughing (and sharing it with us). I figure we all get our turn for this crap - it's just your turn brother...
 
Careful with that protective footwear!

I was using chocolate habanera’s in come soup on sat and I made the mistake of scratching the inside of my nose whilst chopping them. After my eyes exploded I decided to wash my hands, just to see if that worked I popped my finger up my other nostril....big mistake!
