Poop Frazod's Epic Grill Disaster - Page 5

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?

I guess since you're diet consists mainly of sperm, grilling isn't an important part of your life.

I won't hit him for "bitch."

He sure is begging for it, though.

The parts (the ones I could find, anyhow) landed about 50 feet away. Apparently, there was plenty of pressure already in the system.

Anyhow, I was "this" close to being ONE EYE FAX after today.

Interesting. I saw these do it yourself cannisters last week at the auto parts store and was wondering if this was something a non a/c tech could do. Looks like the answer is no.

Friday afternoon. Time to get on the road to home. 106 freakin degrees in southern GA. Turn the A/C on while I'm loading the car. Come back outside and the entire windshield looks like a spiderweb. Ouch.

i like to grill, but when i do it i move my grill at least ten feet away from the house in case the unthinkable happens. when i lived in an apartment, i moved the grill 10-15 feet in front of the building in case the unthinkable happened. same reason you should wear a seatbelt or a helmet. if you don't then your fuckING dumb!

I don't got that bad of a mouth, do I?
fuck sh*t *ss b*tch c*nt, shooby-de-doo-wop (what?)
Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves
Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin some trees (HEY!)
how many retartds listen to me?

I can say, without reservation, that I have not "cooked" plastic in my grill.

At least you got a new one and was not seen running into the woods flaming yourself.

Enjoy the new grill and try not to do anything dumb in the future.

My HS shop teacher said we should always pay attention to detail, you knowl.. the guy with three fingers on one hand and two on the other.

oh yeah. They even have commercials or safeglass here. But it's typically a chip in the window that starts it. Mine was fine. Next time I'll drive w/windows open for a mile before closing them up.

Is that covered by insurance, or do you just have to eat the cost of a new windshield?
