Best Practice on smoking all day long (weekday style!)
Posted: December 22nd, 2015, 7:20 pm
So i know the technical answer to this question is going to be "Dont leave your smoker unattended"... I get it.
But, when smoking a cut of meat all day long has anyone had any issues leaving their pellet grill running while away to the office or on errands? Obviously I would have a WiFi temp probe so I can monitor activity on my phone but I see this as a huge plus to being able to smoke meat on a weekday. Come home at lunch and check progress but let it run most the day. I am just curious if the group has had major issues with hopper fires or other issues that would really make me think twice about this.
Disclamier... I realize this is a live fire and leaving it unattended for hours on end is probably not the absolute best practice but I am sure everyone does it and these are a "set it and forget it" grill.
So what are your best practices for this non best practice?
