Whooooosh
We bought a small, round grill. I put it together today. Directions said to burn charcoal for 15 minutes with lid closed to burn off all the new, factory stuff. So, I put a few charcoal bricks in there and tried to light them. With the lid down, they wouldn't stay lit. With the lid up, the wind came through and created a major fire.
After one episode where I lifted the lid and nothing was burning, I added the rest of the small bag of charcoal. Lit them, put the lid down and waited another 10 minutes. When I went to check, I lifted the lid and Whooooooosh, a fireball blew outward, covering my arm and up into my face. Yuck. Luckily, it dissipated before reaching my face. However, it burned all the hair off of the underside of my right forearm. I put ice on it and now it's only a little red.
Jenn read the directions on the bag and it said to use half the bag and keep the lid open. Uh huh. Sounds good now, except the wind was making it a forest fire type fire with the lid open.
Anyway, all is good. I ended up only burning five hot dogs out of eight. But the hamburgers all came out great.
And now I have a squirrel roasting in a piece of tinfoil with butter, pepper, and tarragon spices. I have foiled Darth Squirrel! ;)
