El Presidente Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 It was all going great. PCC Oz CEO and good mate Angelo popped in to see me yesterday for the day. It was also Di's son Todds 18th Birthday. We arranged to have a BBQ on the deck and invite Lise and nona (Lise/Di's mum) for the BBQ. Why not....one big happy family. Well.....it was as if Lisa needed to make up for 4 months of not bagging me. Nag nag nag nag nag nag nag.....nag nag nag nag nag nag nag .....breath...nag nag nag nag nag nag nag. You get the idea Lise pointed out "Rob....there are flames coming out of the BBQ" Rob : " Pork Fat Honey.....from Fridays BBQ...nothing to worry about". Moving forward...Things got worse ...Fire got bigger, even after I turned BBQ off....then .I realised the 9 litre gas bottle was on fire Now I knew that if I could extinguish the flames from the Gas bottle, Smithy would be able to fix the damage to the BBQ. Smithy is not great in a crisis as we found out the last time this exact situation happened . As all this madness went down i could still hear the consant nagging of Lisa ..."Good one idiot ...we are all going to die!" "Pork fat my arse!" "I am so happy there is a Gas bottle on fire in between baby Dom and safety" Fighting the urge of smothering the flames with Lisa, we managed to turn off the Gas Botlle which at this time was looking a tad "Rosy" BBQ dead. Lunch at least 45 minutes away. Lisa started again. Thank fully Smithy does what he does best and steps in to a disaster with his perfectly arranged toolbelt and common sense. if anyone wonders what happened to the "Construction Worker" from the Village People....you now know Lunch was saved...3 cheers Smithy! Lisa's hunger sated....Angelo had a laugh....Todd and my son Ben wondered if this is what life has in store for them. Great day. Home at midnight. All is well in the world
OZCUBAN Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 OMG Just a normal day at Czars wouldn't you say OZ

asmith Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Never a dull moment around this place, especially when Ayala fires up the BBQ. Here is what the gas hose looked like and the flames shot from the end. Well Done Mate!
Puros Y Vino Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 YIkes! I always test the hose before lighting up for the season. Glad to see no one was hurt.
CaptainQuintero Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 lol the same thing happened to me about ten years ago, hot fat dripped onto the rubber hose and panic ensued it's always a fun moment when you glance at the house and weigh up if it could survive the explosion and wether to just make a break for the door!
ckearns Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 A tip for when you get a replacement hose... wrap it in tin foil. This should provide some extra time to realise what's really going on between nags.
Squarehead Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Either you didn't tighten the connections or another possibility is that the venturi was blocked by an insect and preventing all the gas to reach the burner.Other than that it looks like you all had a good time.
CanuckSARTech Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Never a dull moment around this place, especially when Ayala fires up the BBQ. Here is what the gas hose looked like and the flames shot from the end. Well Done Mate! Question then? Who put the barbeque together in the first place?
FlyFishingDude Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Was that the nice new BBQ I saw in the pics from the new HQ deck party?
Fuzz Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Stop using gas and cook with charcoal. Once you taste the flavour, you'll never go back to gas. And I happen to know a good supplier too!
jay8354 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Stop using gas and cook with charcoal. Once you taste the flavour, you'll never go back to gas. And I happen to know a good supplier too! Fuzz, you don't understand, gas you can turn off. Charcoal's - well let say that the house is burning down. I mean, think about it, if a fat fire gets this outta hand. Imagine what will happen if they forgot to douse the charcoals after the bbq,

Imagine what will happen if they forgot to douse the charcoals after the bbq, Hmm, for an out of control BBQ fire, lets look at it this way: Charcoal - big fire, may need to find a new home Gas - bottle explodes... look for your missing body parts a few blocks down the road I have both, but now moving more and more to charcoal.
asmith Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Question then? Who put the barbeque together in the first place? Don't be looking at me, I didn't assemble it.
mazolaman Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Charcoal every time....that's for the one bbq the weather allows us here!
Murri Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Smithy is not great in a crisis as we found out the last time this exact situation happened . ???? Sounds like a conspiracy, Smithy trying to overthrow the current president again.
ZinZan Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm partial to charcoal, tried the gas version once just wasn't the same
