Smokey BBQ

Although Texas is known for it’s smokey BBQ, that wasn’t quite what I had in mind tonight. We love to grill and do it quite a bit. Usually 2-3 times a week. It helps to get meat from the family farm in Nebraska. I clean the grates regularly, but I’ve been meaning to actually clean the whole inside of the grill. Well, I shouldn’t have procrastinated. I threw a couple of good looking t-bone steaks on the grill tonight and after a couple of minutes I looked out to see billowing black smoke coming out of the grill. Not a good sign. Turns out grease on the bottom of the grill caught on fire. It didn’t burn the steaks but the tops were black from sout and smoke. I turned off the gas and waited for it to go down a bit and then blew it out, but I ended up with a fair amount of sout on my face and hair. I guess I’ll be cleaning the grill this weekend.

    So “Chef Boyardee”, how long did it take you to clean the grill?? (or did most everything just burn off?)

    We have enjoyed this one!

    I think I have heard a story about my in-laws catching the garage door on fire one time! Lucky you weren’t cooking closer to the house!

    Actually, most everything burned off and made it pretty easy to clean. I was a little concerned about it leaving sout marks on the house, but everything turned out OK. Got a couple of T-bones thawed out for tomorrow to try again.
