Sorry about the accident but it looks like you're turning lemons into lemonade to me!
And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy.

This weekend is the in-laws 29th wedding anniversary and they took off for the weekend so my wife, kids, and I are staying at their place this weekend with my sister in-law who has cerebral palsy. Here's my FIL's pit getting warmed up.
When I checked his pit out yesterday I noticed his thermo was stuck on 450. I tried to clean it up and see if it would start working but didn't have any luck, so I hooked him up with one of the Tel-trus from my project since it's still on hold. His pit is holding 250 like a boss.
Loaded it up at 8:00, and had coffee with my son by the pit this morning. He's hanging in there for the entire cook.
