Fired up the grill for the first time since Sunday's pork butt, which was great by the way, so I could brown some already cooked chicken breasts.
Anyway, lit the gas for direct heating and thought I would use the same side as the pork butt was cooked on since it seemed to be already greased. Lit the burner and closed the lid to warm the grill and when I opened it a few minutes later the whole deflector plate was on fire.
Turned the flame out on that side and lit the other side to brown the chicken.
There was no damage done, that I have found anyway, but it gave me a shock since I wasn't expecting a forest fire.
Does this kind of thing happen in a WSM also?
