Hubby set a leg of lamb on fire on a charcoal grill that was way too hot. It was on a spit. This was 20+ years ago. Our daughter and I were down in the garden. It was the 4th of July. We called out to him that the grill was smoking. He lifted the lid, fought the flames and took out the spit, and promptly held the flaming leg of lamb up in the air like the statue of liberty. It was hilarious until I thought how much that lamb had cost, plus it was our dinner. That weber grill burned for so long and so hot that the wooden handles were burned off. Ah....memories.
20+ years ago I liked to BBQ outside my condo - 4-5 days a week.
I would often make a “tray” of of aluminum foil, double-layered, joined to another group of sheets, folded edges lifted up.
Put in some cooking oil, sliced onion, green peppers, etc.
All going fine - just fine.
Then I reached down with a metal spatula one day to separate some of the vegetables.
Went right through the foil - both layers.
OOPS
Flames jumped up at least 3 feet high. People driving by in the complex got a little show, LOL.
