I don't like gas and this is one reason why.
We bought a seven in one grill a few years ago and it has a propane tank which I seldom use. When grilling or smoking I burn wood not gas. We do use the propane if we are frying something like a turkey or oysters. The propane tank and assembly to the grill is kept in a shed barn well away from the house. The grill we bought is stainless steel and it sits outside under an oak tree. When I am done with the grill, there is very little wood left burning, and I close down the vents so the fire goes out. Even if I left the vents open there is not enough wood to burn long and the grill is sitting on gravel. So many fires are started by grills on wood decks!
My wifey's uncle is a big pig cooker. He has a detached garage full of different BBQ and pig cookers. We were at his house one year for a pig cooking and I noticed he had red legs, arms and face. The red was below the current length of shorts and shirt. His eye brows were missing...
He had gone out to grill and struck a match. One of his propane tanks was open or leaking and the gas went boom, giving him red legs, arms, face and no eye brows. :shocked:
This guy is either the worlds luckiest or unluckiest man. I can figure out which but he really should be dead at this point. He was a medivac pilot in Nam and was shot down 2-3 times. One shoot down put him in the hospital for months. He had a couple of car accidents with deer that should have killed him but did not. Then he fell off the roof when nobody was home. He had compound fractures in one arm and one leg. He had to crawl up some steps, then down steps, and then up some more steps to even get into the house. He had to crawl across the floor to get to the phone mounted on the wall. Not sure how he dialed the phone...
Like I said, the guy should be dead and he is either the worlds luckiest man or the most unluckiest. Can decide which. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
But I don't like gas and Uncle being blown up in his garage is another reason.
Later,
Dan
