Update: My pellet smoker's auger jammed solid during a 14 hour cook last weekend.
I had to pull the whole thing apart in my driveway at 2 AM, and now I'm thinking maybe the push for 'set it and forget it' tech in BBQ is just making us less able to handle a basic problem when the power goes out or a part fails.

Yeah that "set it and forget it" push. @the_matthew is right. It makes you forget how to actually cook. My old stick burner never quit. You learn the fire, you fix the fire. Now it's just a computer error code and a dead cook.

That "set it and forget it" push is real. My buddy had his pellet grill just die mid-smoke on a holiday. He ended up finishing the brisket in his oven, but the whole point of having the fancy rig was gone. Felt like the tech just added another thing that could break.
