Almost a Disaster Last Night.

Last evening I did a 2 step ribeye on the Z Grill. Have not done that yet on the Z. Only the MM. Performed wonderfully. Did a 250 low until 120. Pulled and tented to rest while the Big Z got cranked up to 460. Finished the ribeye on the lower rack for that nice overall crust, doneness to 135ish. Left big Z running so wife could make her "Pleasing Aroma to God" :D She takes the slices I cut for her and Fred out there to do her Old Testament thing. I told her when she's finished leave the lid up and hold the "Start" button in until the display says "Off". Well, she simply pushed the power button. Guess I am VERY lucky it did not result in a hopper fire :oops:
 
Very lucky for sure.
I did something similar, I put the camp chef into the shutdown mode and when I went inside I unplugged the extension cord at the outlet. Well, the CC wasn't finished with the shutdown. I was lucky because I went back out to get the Smoke I left out and noticed the grill temp was still at 250.
Plugged it back in and restarted the shutdown. Could have been a disaster as the hopper was full of pellets.

I've done the exact same thing. Only saving grace was I had dumped the pellets from the hopper other than those in the auger. Just would have run out of fuel.
