Poop Frazod's Epic Grill Disaster - Page 4

Frazod · 08-01-2010, 08:36 PM

I'll probably regret posting this, but what the hell. I'm sure you guys can use a good laugh for the next few years. This one may surpass the refrigerator, since the appliance in question did not survive.

Yesterday, as I spent about an hour cleaning my grill, I thought that it might be nice to get a new one at some point. The grill is nine years old, a bit worse for wear, small and lacking any extras. I use it pretty much daily during the summer. So today, I planned to grill chicken for lunch. I store my grilling tools inside the grill when not in use, and remove them when I'm cooking. Well, this day, I removed all but one.

It was sunny, so I had my sunglasses on. The inside of the grill is black, and so was the handle of the plastic grill brush/scraper that I neglected to remove from the back of the top rack. I should have known it was there, but I didn't see it. So I lit the burners and went back inside.

I come out a few minutes later with the food, open the lid and am greeted by a flaming mass of burning, melting plastic. Turning off the burners does not stop it. Flaming goo is starting to drip through the holes at the bottom onto the mat. The wife is freaking out, and I run for the fire extinguisher, which I'd never used before. The second lesson I learned today is if you're aiming a chemical extinguisher into an enclosed space, you might want to stand back a bit. Soon the grill, the deck and myself were enveloped in a cloud of white flame reerunant which I can still taste a bit as I type this. But the fire's out. The grill was, needless to say, a loss - I doubt if I could have ever effectively cleaned all that melted burned plastic out of it and had no desire to eat toxic fumes with my food.

****.

So the old grill is on the curb waiting for the garbage man, and after a trip to Home Depot and a couple of annoying hours of assembly I now have the brand new, large grill with a thermostat and a side burner that I pondered buying yesterday (grills tend to be on sale this time of year, too!). I already broke it in too - it rocks! I also have a new scraper with a WOODEN handle.

So I guess all's well that ends well. I'll file this under MISTAKES YOU ONLY MAKE ONCE, and feel relieved that I didn't burn my ****ing building down. And I assume my wife will quit busting my balls at some point in the next decade or so.

So how was your Sunday?

Yeah, and I'd probably be in jail right now picking ricocheted pellets out of my face.

man things have changed. I guess we all get older. Another chapter gone.

Seems like yesterday youd shoot a fridge for making noise. Now you tell us you used a fire extinguisher instead of a shotgun for a tiny 'grill fire'.

I dont know what happened to you man.

sad days for chiefsplanet bros....

Sometimes you have to kill the old item to justify buying a new one.

I bought a new Weber Genesis grill last summer. I use it a lot. I have a screened in porch, so it stays out of the sun and rain. The one it replaced (a old Weber Genesis) lasted about ten years. I actually re-built it and gave it to a good friend of mine who has helped me work on my house. It's a little beat up but still works good enough to cook burgers and chicken. I love the new one. BBQ shrimp on skewers is the bee's knees.

Sounds like you fells have outdoor ovens, so I'm not sure how this qualifies as a 'grill disaster'.

Grills don't use gas. They use charcoal.

That is all.

You can cuss all you want. You just can't add characters to keep them from getting caught by our filters. If you don't want the filters, turn them off.
