LOL, I told myself after reading these posts not to be a nervous Nellie, yet here I am. My issue is that my only option for the smoker is just outside the garage facing the street (in a condo), and I don't feel comfortable leaving it unattended over night. So, I am somewhat limited in my cook time, but I knew this going in. So I will take your advise, relax, and look forward to a nice Heady Topper in a few hours!
