Cleaning up after 40 lbs of
"Sparky"
Posts: 6,024
butt. :pinch: My homemade drip pan leaked,and got butt juice(sounds good huh)all over the egg.The ash at the bottom was in a paste-like form 
So,it's time for a fire :woohoo: Here's the mess
Here's the smoke from the 600+ burn
Good thing it's windy here today,or else someone would have called the fire department again :blink:
Time to shut it down before fire starts coming out the top :laugh:
Andy,do you have XL gaskets in stock(just in case)

Doug sorry to hear the messy situation.....what size is the smaller egg??on the photo

Hey Beli,that's a medium to the right.The small is hiding behind the XL,and the mini is in the barn I can't wait to get my new smokehouse built :cheer:
-
you sound like me when i did my 35 lbs on the large...
i was sitting there and looking at the smoke poring out, camera at hand in case the fire department showed up... i was actually laughing at the thought of posting the photos on the forum... then my gasket melted and i wasn't smiling any more... that is why i told you to use one...happy eggin

I hear ya Terry,I tried to make a drip pan,but it didn't catch it all :pinch: I threw this cook together in a hurry,so I made a few mistakes
It did turn out good though,and hopefully the dome will still open when it cools down :ermm: If not,I'll get over it.This was for a charity fundraiser,so I feel good about it 
-
next time wrap a pyrex lasagna style 9x 13 pan with aluminum foil (for easier clean up) and use it as a drip pan
happy eggin
