I cook hundreds of hotdogs every Saturday for my sons junior tackle football league . I typically roast them in a pan over indirect heat then grill them direct to finish them off with grill marks. Nothing strange about my set up , coals banked on one side and I run about 275 -300 degrees .
This past Saturday I routinely lifted the lid and was met with a fireball that torched my eyebrows and eyelashes , beard and mustache , it didn't burn me or harm me in any way and happened so fast that I didn't even react . My wife and daughter who were watching said it was a flash of flame that was bright orange and they started laughing at my reaction which was was pretty much Duh, as I enjoyed the smell of burnt hair !
In over 30 years of grilling I've never had anything like this happen so I'm not worried , but I'll likely take an extra step back in future lid lifts [emoji2]
