Hello all,
I made Pork Butts Friday night and put water in the pan to make sure it didn't overcook while I was sleeping. After taking them off Saturday, I noticed a great deal of brown/black flakies on the lid of the WSM. I then proceeded to scrape all of them off that I could with a glove.
However, later that day I made some smoked beans in the WSM, and noticed some black specs in the top of my dish. Not a lot but a few specs. I'm not sure if it was the flakies from the WSM lid, or it could've been bits of bacon that were in the baked beans.
Either way, I know it is not ideal for the flakies to get into your food, but is it actually dangerous to eat them? I didn't notice any off taste in the food so I'm hoping it was just really small bits of bacon and not flakies.
Thanks,
Bryan
