So I had heard all about "burping the Egg" all over the forums, YouTube videos, and documentation. Apparently, gases build up in the dome of the egg. If you open the lid all the way, the gases could flashback. So, you lift the lid a few inches (the burp) and then open completely. The burp allows the gasses to escape enough to hinder the flashback.
During the first cook today, I remembered the burp.... the first couple of times. Randy and I were cooking and talking away and I forgot to burp. Well, it belched! No visible flames, but you could hear the gases ignite. WHOOOM!!! The evidence was all over my hand... and the smell of burnt hair.
It was kinda cool, but I wouldn't want to do it again.
