Was making some beef ribs overnight last night. Smoker ran at 225 for about 8 hours with no issue, I cranked it up to 275 an hour ago or so to finish the second set of ribs. Came down like ten minutes ago to this. The grease pot is also stuck and I have to really yank it to get it out. Is my grill ruined or is it salvageable?

Seems grease fires are common and this is the results. Doing a burn off on my Pitboss cause paint peeling last weekend and from a Google search they say to scrape the paint and hit it with some hi temp paint to keep the metal protected. I wouldn’t be to worried. Let it fully cool and the grease tray may slide out. If not you might have to replace it.
Nope, give it to me.
Ribs are done
Yea, this is standard overtime, you’ve got years left if you treat it right
I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the ribs.
Or the Creedence.
More salvageable than them ribs
Nice pullback on ribs. What’s your secret? And yeah it’s game over I think for the grill.
Almost everything is salvageable. It just depends on how much work you want to put into it. It just looks like a lot of sanding and painting. Paint only the outside, of course. You could season the inside with oil to prevent rust. It may not look great, but it would still work.
Those poor ribs
Depends if your in the market for a new one
Scrape any loose off – shop vac the interview. Coat it all with a high heat oil and re do your burn in. You’ll make it op… one time I got drunk and forgot I had food on my wood fired, shit was a god damn fireball when I came out.
You can probably save the ribs but the grill is toast.
Grill is done, but you might be able to save the ribs.
Ribs?! Man I thought that was a pair of rubber work gloves you left on accident and melted, dude those are well done for sure.
Bone char or ash is actually great for your garden, so don’t throw those away. Just grind it up and apply it to your landscaping or garden area.
lol, grill is fine. Wipe off the crunchies and fire it up!
Ribs will need extra BBQ sauce
The grill is fine but its gonna rust unles syou clean it and paint it. The ribs are probably not salvageable.
I love the mashup of Lebowski quotes.
Looks fall off the bone to me 😋
Oh man I did the exact same thing but with a lot more beef ribs. 2 hours nice and slow, turned the heat up at the end and suddenly inferno
I’m so sad for you
Just spritz every 2 hours. You’ll be fine 👍
That grill is cooked. As the kids would say.
Your grill is probably fine just in desperate need of a cleaning.
The ribs on the other hand? I’m not holding out too much hope for them. Grind up the bones and feed it to your garden
Lol! How does this even happen…..trying to make some beef scented charcoal 😆 🤣 😂
