BURP YOUR EGGs....or ELSE....BE CAREFUL!

[BBQ_MAFIA]

I've cooked on my BGEs countless times.

Last night as a load of chicken wings cooked away on the XL Egg at 400 degrees I talked with my son Vincenzo about his acceptance to college and his freshmen year.

Unknowingly I was distracted by the conversation as I am so excited for him.
I continued to talk as I went to check the wings. Forgetting to Burp the Egg I was met with a flash of fire.

Lucky for me I got away without getting burned. I ended up with all the hair on my arms singed along with my eyebrows and the hair on my head.

Please be careful when using your ceramic and all cookers and always pay attention to what you are doing.

I am always super careful but one distraction can be costly.

Yes. I have the Akorn and it does the same thing at times. Be careful.

I've done that. Fortunately for me it was winter and I had a coat on. No hair loss :-D

I'm glad that you weren't burned more seriously!

Thanks again for the repeat warning. Been there myself a few times and worry about any future momentary lapse of reason.

Glad you were not hurt That has happened to me

 

[Estol Riddle]

I know exactly how that feels. Burp for sure.
I wonder if anyone who has cooked on a ceramic for any amount of time has not had that happen.
Good to know your ok.

Burned all of the hair off of my left arm and most of my left eyebrow when I forgot to burp my Egg.

I now burp everything.............even the gasser. :-D

Yep always when you least expect it...
Good tip!!

I made that mistake ONCE.

Nice Video, but I assure each and everyone that the grill temp does not to be as high as shown in the video for flashback to happen. Have had it on three occasions and have to admit it was my fault on two of these.
Have never had flashback less than 450 deg. but I am not saying it can't happen. Just my personal experience.
Never cooked over 600 and when I did I was careful. Have not cooked at any higher temp. nor plan to.

I wish I could say I only made this mistake once
