    Away for the winter

    Central Jersey here. My 680 has stayed out in the elements uncovered with pellets always in the hopper for 7 years. I do use it rain snow and shine year round. Have not had a problem yet....knock on wood. Last cook was last week and a rack of spares. Should be no problem in the garage and...

    Brisket (post wrap) stays around 175 with probe
