Smoking-Meat.com is down


 
This is what I received in an email:

I just wanted to let everyone know that the website at smoking-meat.com and the forum at smokingmeatforums.com are both out of commission at this moment and for an undetermined amount of time.

Apparently there was a fire/power outage where our servers are located and there is some water damage from the suppression system.

We have emergency back ups and everything will be restored once the all clear is given.

We are watching this carefully and hope to have this back online soon.
 
Thanks for sharing Todd, appreciate the info. Glad to hear it wasn't hack/ransom. They will be back.

DOH! Got the email yesterday.

Sounds like they use the same server facility (WebNX in Ogden Utah) as the EEVBlog.
Apparently they were doing a load test on a backup generator when it caught fire, shutting down power to not only the servers but also the fire suppression system... Fire department also cut any remaining power as a precaution...
