5698k Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Franklin BBQ in Austin partially burned in the early hours this morning, causing an estimated $350,000 in damage. Apparently it was an errant ember. No one was hurt, but the restaurant will be down for a while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Wonder what the now smoked brisket in their refrigerators tasted like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Ha! I guess it depends on what kind of wood the building was made of. Supposedly, the smokers weren't damaged, mostly the kitchen equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel smokers what could happen? Wooden handles and maybe some electric fans to control temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
