BBQ grill safety. Mine had a good grease fire going tonight. Was grilling 2 thick 1lb New York strips(oh baby) at 500degrees and indirect heat...Steaks not right above burners. I walked away for a minute and came back to a grill on fire. The grease drippings ignited and got the rest of the grill going as I have not cleaned the pan under the burners for a few months. Under the flames was the propane tank. I came real close to using an extinguisher however being the cheapskate I am and the steaks being prime I hesitated. Fire went out..steaks were great, grill did not explode, house did not catch fire...the risk of serious injury or you know did not happen.
So... keep your grill clean. I do use a gas sniffer after connecting a new tank. Leaks can be deadly. Most of us are safety oriented. Extend that to your outdoor cooking. Please be careful.
