DennisLinkletter Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I had both my Gen II and Lil Isla going for an Sunday cook.. I must admit I was still suffering from a lil red wine flu from night before.. The smaller one was still empty and so I grabbed the grill and opened it up not realizing how hot it was... Whooomp! Felt the heat about the same time as I heard it.. not sure if I pulled back but knew I got a face full.. I was not burned but my eyebrows, eyelashes and chest hair were well toasted... Pretty scary.. and I'm the one always reminding/warning people about flashbacks! I'm probably lucky it was on the 19" not the 23" or I probably would have been burned..
JeffB Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Wow. Glad to hear that is wasn't anything more than some burnt hair.
Sanny Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 You know? Take it from me... mascara doesn't hide the crispy eyelashes. They just come out horribly clumpy. Glad you weren't more than singed, Dennis. I've burned my tummy while simmering tomato sauce topless (to keep it from splashing on my shirt). Guess it's a good thing I don't bbq topless, huh? At least it just singed your hairs!
Conodo12 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 An Observation... Hi Dennis - Thanks for the reminder that we all have to be careful when cooking with any outside grill! I remember just last year a buddy sharing with me a story where he rolled his gasser into the pool for fear of an explosion in his back yard. A fire brokeout under his gasser and was dangerously close to the propane line. He saw disaster looming and pulled the ol' Navy rule of "jettison the fire overboard!". He now cooks exclusively with charcoal. We may get a little surprise now and again, but it only helps to remind us to have fun, be safe, and we'll all eat well!! On the lighter side, makes a heck of a smell, doesn't it?!?!?!
mguerra Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Dude, that's ....ing hilarious!!! Wouldn't even make the grade on Jackass, though. I do a laser eyelash removal for certain problems and it stinks to high heaven.

Sanny, if there isn't any pictures....... it didn't happen!
