Passing the torch

I finally have been relieved of my position as chief grill fire chef. Yes, I could never live down that one day I damn near burnt the garage down. The grill was a full size Falcon and I had it loaded with chicken. Mom had tried to explain why you have to trim fat off the pieces. I couldn't see why you couldn't just throw it on the barbie. Picture a jet in full afterburner, there was no hiding it. Last year my Nephew set my parents grill on fire, cooking sliced bacon no less. That is the moment the torch was passed.
 
That's funny! The closest I've come to that was seeing a turkey fryer burst into flames. A buddy of mine was cooking in a company cookoff and got too drunk. I kept asking him if we needed a thermometer. He kept saying no. We were just going to cook wings in it. Well another guy tossed the first wing into the oil and the thing went up like a blazing inferno! Needless the say the company management wasn't thrilled. We got the fire out and no one was hurt. I think at one point someone even through cat litter in the thing trying to put it out. Finally just had to smother the fire.

Needless to say the turkeyfryer pan got thrown away.
 
OK, I've been topped. A tip of the hat to the one day chef. You do have to break a few eggs to make BBQ. Glad no one was hurt, "touch you're it!".
