lesson learned

Yesterday Philip decided he wanted to grill some sausage. No big deal. He cranks up the grill, slaps some sausage on and goes inside. Several minutes pass and I see billowing black smoke under the porch. We casually walk outside to see flames shooting out the back of our year-old propane family member about a foot and a half. Philip turns the gas off and we are smart enough to not open it up until the flames die down. Thanks, fire education in elementary school! Thankfully, I have a very prepared and cautious husband that keeps the grill the recommended distance away from the house, or we would have quite another story to tell today!

The fire completely charred the food (obviously) and killed the lining that was inside.



Needless to say, we did not have sausage for lunch yesterday. A bit of advice: pay attention to your grill and what you are cooking.
