WARNING TO THOSE THAT SMOKE MEAT

[Ronin13]

When I saw the thread title, it made me think of this.....

I don't care who you are, that right there is funny... You do point out, that is a slightly homoerotic thread title. But DG, seriously, glad you're okay, had almost the same thing happen last summer when re-lighting the grill, somehow it went out, leaked propane into the lid and caused a pretty awesome fireball.

[brutal]

More importantly, is the meat ok?

That was my first thought, you beat me to it.

Watch it there buddy, you do know that real men smoke their meat.

Smoking meat is good, but so as not to blow yourself up, use charcoal and Hickory, or you could be Richard Simmons mini me.

OK... I know this is serious, kind of, and I know the potential for serious injury to you and your meat was narrowly avoided. But I laughed til I had tears in my eyes!

The first thing I did after patting down all affected areas was to look around and make sure no one saw me do this.

For those of you that like to smoke meat here is a little lesson I learned over weekend. What happened: while smoking some ribs this weekend I noticed that my smoke was cooling down. I opened the bottom up to notice that the burner was out. So I hit the igniter thingy and BOOM.

I guess the smoker had filled with propane and I set the whole thing off. The doors flew open shooting flames up my right side, legs, arm and beard and half my hair on my head were sizzled. My right ear got 1st degree burns. Had to run the trimmer through my beard to even it out and get as much of the crispy hair as I could, and the same with my head. Hair on my arm and legs are gone. I put burn cream on my ear and have had to sleep on the left side of my head for the last few nights. So if any of you have your smoker go out make sure you vent all the gas out before re-lighting it.

Edit: and no, I did not take pictures

Really... you needed a warning for this?


Here ya go









and lastly...

Wow. I'm glad you're okay.

I'm going to have to re-think this whole propane thing. I need my eyebrows.
