It's Saturday June 27th 2026.. What is everyone doing this weekend?

GLAMIS WEATHER
Brisket was a fail! Ran into a stall and the temp went from 187 to 183 in 30 mins so I bumped up the temp from 205 to 250. Looked outside and bad news. Looks like the Masterbuilt had a grease fire inside. Lid was almost cooked shut. Probe was reading 500+ degrees. I think it ruined the smoker too. What a waste of time and money.
Bummer. These briskets are such a pain in the ass. But gotta be a man..

Lmk before you go and buy another one. Smoker I mean. And Costco wagyu briskets are the way to go.
 
@SandyCheeks finally off for summer so we’ve been in full camp mode since. This weekend we left Vail Lake and went to San Onofre on Pendleton. Boys got to come join for the weekend and we lucked into a beachfront for the week. I’m kinda over it (“relaxing” isn’t really my thing) but momma is happy and that’s all that matters.

Freestyle Festival was a blast, so many groups came out played their hits then dj kept the vibe between sets...which was short.

When you been in hockey, then go to an Ice Hockey Arena...you see people you know...staff gave us free drinks all night...At some point I was walked to my car, drove home and put to bed...lol.

No complaints, I had a great group with me the whole evening ☺️

After doing some more research on the Master Built brand, it looks like its a massive design flaw that allows grease to drip into the flame box. Many people have had fires due to this. There are work arounds for it which I will do on the new one. I am going to trash this one as I want a fresh start with a new one.
