Isn't it funny how we're told to clean up all the rough edges? I see this everywhere now, like how people post pics of their half-done DIY projects or a messy kitchen while they're cooking. It's like we got tired of only seeing the perfect end result. Leaving the sketch layers in feels honest, like you're letting people in on the secret. That piece you saw sounds way more interesting with the process showing.

Mine worked after a quick restart, maybe try that?

Right, and did you see my notes last time? They were a total mess.

Man that's the worst feeling. Seems like everything these days has some "pro" or "competition" label slapped on it to justify a crazy price. Half the time the old basics work better than the fancy stuff. You see it with tools, with kitchen gear, with all sorts of hobbies. It's like they're selling you a solution to a problem you didn't even have. Sorry about the brisket, that's a tough loss.

That's just extra gear to haul around. A good sealant should handle the heat if it's stored right in the first place.
