Well, That officially is amazing.

Flamethrower? Human Torch?

Was there some kind of “whoosh” and a fireball involved in lighting it or something?

i don’t think so from what i’ve heard.

I’ve had some impressive fires on my grill from not cleaning it properly for a season. I’m talking 4 foot flames that beer only angered. It did not come close to melting off the knobs. I’m.... actually impressed in a strange way.

Gotta clean out the grease from the drip can, and off the bottom of the tray. Those communal grills are never cleaned. I watched one go up at a client’s BBQ party for a team, and it required most of a fire extinguisher .

Probably a grease fire from not cleaning. Or the shrimp got pissed and set fire to the barbi.

Equipment failure? Poor tank connection?

Impressive, most impressive. I would think you would have to soak them and even reapply to melt them like that... it's one of those things you might have to TRY and do.

T he Barbie barbi’d the barbi!

OOk that's all I’ve got, show myself out.

As someone who has been on the receiving end of a “whoosh”, the most it will do is blow the cover back. Not enough heat to melt the knobs. My guess is the grease tray had years of crud in it and lit. That can produce a very hot fire that is quite difficult to put out.

My money is on grease fire from a grease tray with years of crud on it. I’ve had cheaper grills that didn’t drain well and the shit just accumulates and eventually lights.
The key is to keep a cup of water nearby to pour in. It instantly vaporizes, putting out the fire, and also flushes the crud into the grease trap.

Fair enough, a buddy of mine is no longer allowed to start bonfires because of an incident involving a “whoosh” and a rather large circle browned grass. Your grease trap theory makes sense.
