Being Afraid Of The Flame
A good fire is a mesmerizing thing, but even as our primal urge to cook meat on a hot fire is being satisfied, an out-of-control fire can invoke panic. The good news that is unless you added a large amount of petrol to your barbecue, the odd leaping flames are probably nothing to worry about. The trick is knowing what is a "good flame" and a "bad flame." Black, acrid smoke coming from burnt BBQ sauce that's been on the grill for too long is bad. Flames leaping up in response to fat dripping from a nice big hunk of meat or fish? That's good. Harness the power of the flame for truly delicious barbecued meat.
