yo mama Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) 'Bout 8 or 9 years ago I had a real sketchy gas grill; electric ignition button never did work right. So I'd just turn the gas on, wait a few seconds, then throw lit matches at it until it got going. Burnt off my eye brows a couple times doing that... until I invested $1.99 in a lighter wand that reached down through the grill far enough to light the gas right at the burner.

untateve Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I get the BGE up to 800 degrees to seer a steak. Open the lid to drop the steaks on and the rush of oxygen onto an the coals caused something of a flare up. most of the hair on my arm was gone but my son thought it was hysterical.

evil_gop_liars Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 This is not a grill accident but it is a propane accident...I belonged to a home brew club and we decided to brew a few batches of beer. So a few of us brought up our cookers and we started. Well I was the last one to light my cooker, I lit it and realized I need to turn up the regulator. I reached over with the match still lit and turned it up and I soon realized I didn't tighten my connection to the propane tank. Flames started shooting out of the connection, so I tried to turn it off and burnt all the hair on my arm. I ran around in circles a few times and contemplated how far I could run before it exploded. But as it turns out somebody turned on a garden hose flooded the connection with water while I turned it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaynfl Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I was about 10 years old and BEGGED to light the grill and my step dad let me do it. I opened the valve and lit a match which promptly blew out in the wind after hurriedly trying two more matches the 4th match lit for a brief moment before the small explosion from our grill blew it out. It also picked me up and smashed me into the side of our house 12 feet away. I had fried hair and was missing a large portion of my eyebrows... at least the grill stayed lit!!

twiley Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 About 5 years ago, my then girlfriend, now wife decided that she wanted to get the gas grill going so I said sure why not. She turns the knobs on for the grill and then releases the gas valve. I guess something distracted her because she waited about another 45 secs to actually light it. I see this hugh ball of fire out of the corner of my eye and my soon-to-be wife running inside scared as hell. She didn't singe or burn anything but it was the last time she ever lit the grill.

Deacon Bill Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 When I was 17, I had a 69 Camaro. I was paying too much attention to some smokin' hot babe, instead of the road, and hit the car in front of me. It knocked the Chevy emblem out and smashed my grill.

PantherDave Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hmmm, as I thought, it's best to leave grilling to the professionals. Now, I hope all these stories make you all realise the dangers of cooking with propane. Funny story, I was cooking some chicken breast over med-low coals and I had this grill on my deck with the lid closed to hold the heat. The neighbors cat would usually pay me a visit while cooking-sure enough, he shows up. He then proceeds to jump on top of the grill lid-ever heard the saying "cat on a hot tin roof"? That cat went fuggin nuclear trying to get off the top of that grill He hobbled around for about a week until his blisters went away. He still would visit me afterwards but he gave the grill a wide berth from there on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
