Well I had just cleaned out the egg with the shop vac after a full couple of days of low and slow. I then re-loaded the egg with a small amoutn of lump and had it stabilized at 400 planning on doing some chicken is a little bit. Well while I was halfway watching the temp rise on the egg I decide to go ahead and shop vac up a few things on the deck since I had drug the thing out. I just spun it around and began happily vaccuming all the butts out of the ashtray, etc.. I smelled something peculiar and turned around to the most impressive Volcanic display I had ever seen. Apparently the output of my shop vac lined up perfectly with the lower draft door, which was about 3/4 open at that point, and there was a column of fiery sparks shooting straight out of the top of the egg about 4 feet above it.[p]Sad thing was I wasn't scared or alarmed, just upset I didn't have some thick steaks sitting there ready to go.
