i had a grease fire and my MES was purchased a few months ago...
i opened the front door to check the meat, and a quick woosh and the whole MES was on fire..
i really didnt know what to do, as the flames was pretty big, about 2 feet high...
anyways, even though it was a grease fire, i grabbed my spray bottle and sprayed which in the beginning didn't work, but then was able to put it out. I tried closing the door to sufficate it but it didnt work...
this was an all frantic 1 minute of me running around like a chicken with its head cut off... lol
i think there are still deisgn flaws...
luckily i was able to finish my brisket and nothing was damaged...
however there is all the dark black fluid that did come out the back... a very thick grease i was assuming... but was worried it could be plastic...
