vuduchile 1,941 Posted June 28, 2018 Older Weber gas grill, probably 15 years old. Igniter wasnt working so I went inside to get the lighter. Stuck it in the hole and click - BOOM! Forgot to turn ALL the burners off when I went inside to get the lighter, so the back 2 burners were just oozing propane the whole time. Literally blew the doors off the cabinet and a hole through the bottom of the cabinet. Singed the hair on my arm. Its all brittle and crumbly now. Time for a new grill and maybe some memory improvement exercises. Glad the kids were inside. What am I supposed to make for dinner now? Shishkabobs in the oven?

Hawkeye21 1,853 Posted June 28, 2018 I did something similar a couple weeks ago. It wasn't to that extreme and I knew I had one burner on low but flames still shot out and singed a bunch of hair on my arm. I found it pretty hilarious at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,513 Posted June 28, 2018 mine has held up pretty well over the past 10 years (4 in the mountains). will likely get a new one soon.... need a little more space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireballer 2,382 Posted June 28, 2018 Not sure. But Im surprised my face didnt get torched. The fact that its propane saved your upper body. The vapor density is greater than ambient air and stays low to the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted June 28, 2018 I am also shopping for a new grill, but I prefer charcoal. Ideally a stainless steel drum with a side drum for smoking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted June 28, 2018 I'm in the higher end grill market too. What are you considering?Im willing to consider anything that doesnt spontaneously combust. I recently bought an LP smoker, so I dont need a multi-purpose grill. But I do like the idea of them. Will probably get another Weber. This one has held up pretty well.

Drizzay 645 Posted June 28, 2018 Anyone have a dream setup where their grill is built-in, with countertops and such? We are planning on re-doing our back deck/patio in a few years and I already told the wife we are going to do the built in grill and smoker. Interested to find out what you all may have done?

Some thoughts I have on what I want should I ever decide to build a stationary set up Have the smoker and the grill set up side by side Have the top fire box for the smoker also be the grill Have an area for Cast Iron storage Have a formica or a bamboo cutting board built in Have an area for wood storage next to smoker Have it covered by a remote controlled retractable awning Must have a sink Must have a fridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5-Points 2,729 Posted June 29, 2018 Damn, glad it wasn't worse. My parents' neighbor's grill exploded and caught their house on fire. Wife was killed in the fire, husband lasted a couple of days in the hospital before he died. PSA: Check your supply line periodically and replace it if it's cracked or looks worn out.

Drizzay 645 Posted June 29, 2018 I havent done that but I like those deluxe set ups with built-ins, fridges, fireplaces, etc. Granted, we are in Mpls, so actually sitting out there is usually only mid-April to early October. It's not like we are in the south, and we would be out there 10 out of the 12 months. But during those months we can sit out there, we are basically grilling every single night. Our backyard faces due East, so it is nice and shaded in the evening. There are some pre-fab setups you can buy (way too expensive), but there also are plans out there to build your own with metal studs. That is probably the route I will take. That way, we can build it to exact fit of our patio and can finish the facing with whatever rock we want and put on our own counter tops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
