Never wake up at midnight to start a smoke.

You might be half asleep and put a rub on a ham that is still in the wrap.
Recovered, came out okay.

I think we have all had one or two of those culinary blunders in our repertoire.

Note to self........sleep in.

 

[smokerjim]

maybe you just dreamed ya did that, that's the story and stick to it.

LOL! Glad you could tell on yourself for a laugh! I did that with ribs one time...

That is friggin' HILARIOUS! Love the lesson learned. I just put a couple of butts in the smoker about ten minutes ago for an overnighter, and actually stopped to remember taking off the vacuum wrap after reading this.

I have found more than 1 piece of plastic stuck on the bottom of a shoulder when I pulled it lol I reckon its to keep the bone from poking a hole in the wrap

 

[Fueling Around]

I've had my moments.
Can honestly say I've never left things "on" before the smoke.
I've fallen asleep a couple times when finishing a smoke.

I bet that is one tasty wrapper!
