Got 3 butts (22 lbs.) on the WSM for a friends party this weekend.
Everything's humming along fine. Temperature's steady at about 225º. Vents
are fine-tuned. Open the access door from time to time to throw on another
chuck of apple.

I'm about to run to the grocery store and decide to check the cooker before
I go. I look and there's the access door laying on the ground and it's like
staring into a blast furnace. The temperature is off the scale.

Long story short: things are back under control - seems to be no harm done.

It's a good thing I decided to check when I did. Whew!
