What happened this evening could have been a disaster had I not remembered to follow the proper safety procedures.

Earlier this evening I put some asparagus on the Genesis to cook and walked back into the kitchen. Both the back and middle burners were on Medium. A few minutes later I went back out to check on the asparagus and it wasn't cooked like it should have been. Hmm.

Turns out there was no flame from either burner and I could hear the gas coming out of them. I immediately turned off the gas from the tank and turned off both burners. I opened both side doors as well as leaving the lid up and went back inside and waited a good 10 minutes. After 10 minutes passed, I went back outside and turned the tank back on and relit the grill. No problems at all and the asparagus was done within 5 minutes.

It was really windy outside so the wind just put out both burners even though the lid was closed.

I burners were only out for a few minutes at most but I was not about to take any chances which is why I waited 10 minutes before relighting the grill.

Anyway just a reminder to ALWAYS follow proper safety procedures when BBQ'ing.

Now time to go out and finish cooking the brats that are smoke roasting in the OTG :)
 
Glad you're ok Brian. Always a smart move to play it safe and follow proper procedures. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks. The smoke has certainly been an issue and will remain that way for a while. It's not too bad down here tonight as the wind has pushed most of it to the north and east.
 
Stick with charcoal!!! :)

Glad you stayed 'calm' and reacted smart about it. Glad your safe
