Wood gassification....
During WWII with the shortage of gasoline, a lot of gasoline engines were converted to run on "wood gas" in Europe. They even ran trucks on the smoke/wood gas. It's not super efficient, but it will burn as you captured on video. If you go to youtube and search for "wood gassifier" you will find everything from trucks to tractors, to generators running off of firewood and pellets. |

Since I know nothing about pellet cookers I am happy I burn sticks in my offset and charcoal and chunks in my grill. Thanks for posting glad nobody was hurt.

For reals. If pellet grills need special procedures to have them NOT blow up, then count me out.

I would have turned it off and opened the lid (with a grilling glove on) to dissipate the smoke *BEFORE* it poofed off. But in all fairness, there are a lot of videos of this happening and it's not going to actually explode, just a quick flashover lifting the lid, and the combustible smoke is gone. Show over....

Minor surgical procedures happen to other people.
Minor explosions happen to other people too. Maybe it was not exactly dangerous- but it was certainly exciting.

My wife always has the hose turned on to water the plants on our deck and I was ready to use it if needed. I also drained the pellets in the hopper into a bucket after I shut it down and unplugged it just in case a fire tried to back up the auger. Chris

Dang!! Never seen a Mak do that, but not saying it couldn’t happen. I guess anything is possible.

After seeing this as well as several other pellet grills act this way, I've decided I don't need one!
The big attraction was the unattended smoking for ling and overnight cooks. Not sure I'd trust one of any make.

By the way, the Kailua pork was a hit. It was incredibly easy to make, and finishing it off in the oven was easy. We plan on making this again. Chris
