Fired it up, let it heat a moment, turned all three burners down to their lowest setting, threw some Conecuh sausage on it. (It's good, try it, you'll like it!)

Turned my back for fifteen minutes and returned to a raging inferno. I had to get the fire extinguisher out to kill the flames. That damn sausage must have been made with gasoline!

Sausage looks like those little worm pills we used to get at the fireworks stand and light on the driveway. Grill looks like, well, shit!

Damn! That was $20 worth of good sausage!

When was the last time you did a good cleaning? Grease buildup will get you eventually every time!

Fifteen minutes?

5 more minutes, Turkish.

^^^This. Grills are most assuredly 'not' maintenance free.

OH, yeah … the ones your Mom made you go back out with a broom and soapy water to clean off the sidewalk... and you could scrub for an hour …

I know the feeling! Been there! Had the same thing happen with skin on chicken parts, grease lit up. Saw it from the back of the grill as I approached, flaming grease off the chicken dripping down onto the gas tank. Open the door and pull out the slider holding the tank and it rolls out onto the ground spewing propane like a blow torch. Got the hose and poured water on the tank top to cool it enough to allow me to turn off the gas valve. Feared for my life! Grill was toast, everything bottom up torched.

All these things we learn here, many of the best come from our posters who live in different regions. See, around hereabouts, we call critters that size snakes. This lack of uniformity of definitions causes a bunch of confusion. Up here in the hollars, when we see a critter that size that slithers, we call it a snake and shoot the hell out of it. We fish with worms. The little kind that are red and fit nicely on a fish hook.


One of our cuddly little bass saw something that size on a hook, they'd know it was a trick and take a swim someplace else. Go figure.

Indirect for something that greasy.

Twenty years ago when I lived in New Jersey my next door neighbor used to rent their house out for the summer.
One day I happened to be working in my garage when I looked across the street to see flames about twenty feet in the air coming from the grill.
The lady who was renting the house comes running over to my house. She knew I was a firefighter and wanted to know what she should do.
I went across the street put the fire out and turned off the gas.
Turns out she put charcoal in the grill, loaded it up with lighter fluid,turned on the gas and threw a match in. Next thing you know one fully involved grill.
I told her she did not have to put charcoal and lighter fluid in the grill it was gas. She said she had never used a grill and wanted to surprise her husband when he got back to the house.
Needless to say my neighbors never rented their house again after I told them about what their renters had done.

Just make up some gravy. Everything tastes good with gravy....probably even the grill parts!

Or ketchup....lots and lots of ketchup.

Once years ago, while I was at work, my wife began to cook a "beer-can chicken" which we had done before and liked a lot. I'm not sure what she did differently, but I got a call at work saying "the whole chicken is on fire, what should I do?" I told her to take a picture. She was confused and asked what good that would do. I told her none, but I wanted to see what it looked like. Close the lid and shut off the gas and I'll bring home some pizza...

After reading this I went searching for Conecuh sausage. OMG that is some good stuff! Had some the other night to help break in GrillGrates (another product I'm liking).

Having again tonight on pretzel bun with pickled vidalia onions and a slathering of lemon and taragon mustard.

Ohhhhh I'm looking forward to supper.

If your grill is toast I suggest gettimg a ceramic grill. You cannot burn those up and they`re self cleaning.
