It was a Sunday afternoon, Sunday Funday, Tank Topalooza or whatever you
want to call it. For the sake of naming this 1 Sunday out of the 52
Sundays a year, I'll call it Sunday #32. On this day, my brother, our
friends and I were having a day party at our house; grilling out,
playing beer pong, flip cup, beersbee and other totally legal things
>:] Anyways, the group of eight or ten of us begin to get
hungry and fortunately for us, there is a ton of meat marinating in the
fridge from chicken, sausage, steaks, pork chops, you name it. We're
gon' grub hard during and after our bro down. Of all the people to be on
grill duty, they put myself at the helm....good job guys...We're using
the big grill instead of the Weber (God I love that Weber). I layer
the charcoal and add some mesquite wood for some added flavor - I looked
like a GD Subway sandwich artist except with a BBQ grill and
charcoal/mesquite. Without anyone else seeing (which is why I call
myself a jackass) is to add two bottles of lighter fluid to soak the
charcoal and mesquite....good job. After 20-25 minutes of the soaking
process, I finally finish off the last bottle of lighter fluid and throw
a match on the grill. Since it wasn't gasoline, I wasn't expecting any
type of crazy combustion, but I was at the very least expecting the
charcoal to light. I attempted to light the grill two more times. It was
frustrating to me because at that point I was like "damn, it's to
soaked...I just wasted so much lighter fluid and charcoal/mesquite". I
walked inside like a puppy in trouble and was going to tell my brother
that someone needed to go get more lighter fluid and charcoal. His
girlfriend at the time, Mexhee as we liked to call her saw me and was
like, "what's wrong". Before I could say anything, her eyes went from
drunk to pooping out of her face. I didn't know what had happened, but I
noticed she was looking past me. I turn around and the grill that I had
walked away from 15 seconds earlier is now engulfing the house in
flames. The house ended up looking like this..
Nah, I'm just kidding haha but for real, the grill was completely on fire with the lid down and the house was charred. Back to the story...I ran outside. While running outside I grabbed a coat (thinking quick on my feet during a stressful moment) and that was how I moved the grill without burning my hands. Once the grill was moved, we sprayed the house down with a water hose and all drunkenly laughed to the point of crying. Don't worry, the portion of the house that had turned a bit black from the fire was painted over. So the fire is under control and away from the house....the next issue was that the fire was so hot, it actually began to remove the black paint from the grill. Learned a couple of lessons that day. So now we're at the point where the fire has died down. We throw the steaks and other meats on the grill, but because it was so hot, they were off the grill not long after. The grill must have been 700 degrees! With careful observation over the meats, everything finally came off the grill and we devoured some serious amounts of protein.
Grilling tools bro downs and house fires seems to make for quite the exciting Sunday afternoon. If anyone has ever had a similar situation to this, tell us about it in the comments area.
