Andrews Family

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.
