  • This video from Sears PartsDirect shows how to prevent flare-ups on a gas grill. The most effective way to prevent flare-ups is to make sure that your flame tamers are clean and free from corrosion and holes. Also, make sure the grease pan below the burners is clean and in good shape. Finally, using the right cooking methods for fatty meat and sausages helps avoid dangerous flare-ups. Following these tips will help you cook your meat safely and avoid and out of control fires.

    Transcript:
    Flame tamers are your number 1 defense against flare-ups-if they’re clean. Flame tamers cover the grill burners and burn off grease as it drips onto the flame tamer. This burn-off creates smoke, which flavors the food you're grilling. But the flame tamers need to be relatively clean for that smoke to happen. If you let the flame tamers collect grease, they can cause flare-ups instead of preventing them. Clean dirty flame-tamers thoroughly before you preheat the grill. If you notice just a few drips of grease or light residue on the flame tamers when you're preparing to grill, preheat the grill to clean the flame tamers before cooking. To clean them when they're really dirty, pull off the grates and remove the flame tamers. Scrape off the big chunks of grease and food, and then use a grill brush to remove remaining residue. Wash the flame tamers with a cloth dipped in a mild solution of grease-cutting dishwashing liquid and water. Rinse the flame tamers with clean water and then reinstall the flame tamers and grates. Replace any rusted or damaged flame tamers. Grease can build up on rust, causing a flare-up. Rust holes in the flame tamers let grease drip directly onto burners, which also can cause a flare-up or even a fire. Another source of flare-ups is too much grease and debris in the grease pan below the burners. Old, dried grease left in the pan will liquefy, vaporize and then burn as the grill heats up. Check the grease pan before firing up your grill and clean it if you find heavy residue. The grease pan on this grill is removable so I can pull it out and clean it thoroughly. If your grill doesn't have a removable grease pan, remove the grates, flame tamers and possibly the burners to thoroughly clean the bottom of the burner box or the grease pan. Replace the grease pan if you find severe corrosion or damage such as rust holes during cleaning. Fatty meat also can cause flare-ups. Flame tamers can only burn off a reasonable amount of fat drippings, so trim excess fat from meat before cooking to help avoid flare-ups. These tips will help you prevent flare-ups. But what do you do if you’re grill is already on fire? You can close the lid to smother a small flare-up. For large flare-ups, pull the meat off the grill or move it so it can cook with indirect heat. What’s that, you ask? It's an area on your grill where you leave a burner or two off so meat roasts on heat from the adjacent burners when you close the lid. An indirect heating area won't produce the searing heat that can start a fire. You should only cook some meats such as fatty sausage or untrimmed pork roast over indirect heat because flame tamers can only tame a reasonable amount of fat drippings. Cooking fatty meats above direct flames can cause extreme flare-ups. Before you position the meat over indirect heat, you usually need to heat the meat or sausage over direct heat to initially increase the internal temperature. Watch the meat closely and quickly move it to the indirect heat as soon as it drips fat. When heated, some sausages squirt fat and juices out, creating a flamethrower effect. Keep a close eye on your grill when cooking fatty sausages and meats to prevent an uncontrollable fire. Here's one final tip. Always keep a CO2 fire extinguisher handy when grilling. You never know when a fire can grow out of control. Use a CO2 fire extinguisher on grill fires rather than water because CO2 safely extinguishes and smothers grease fire flames. Water will spread a grease fire.

    My bbq got so hot once, that the cleaning brush that was on the side table caught fire. From that day on, I put up a fire extinguisher on the wall next to the grill as well as a fire blanket.

    How do u clean a grill after using fire extinguisher on it?

    • @searspartsdirect
      @searspartsdirect  5 лет назад +1

      If the grill wasn't damaged by the fire, you can clean the grill as shown in this video/article: www.searspartsdirect.com/diy/article/how-to-clean-a-gas-grill-video If the fire damaged the grill, replace any damaged parts before using the grill. If you're unsure whether the fire damaged grill parts such as gas lines or hoses, we recommend that you have a service technician examine the grill or replace the grill.
