Default eventful day!!!

so today i had burgers on the barbie (grille)....so dinner was commencing when we had a fone call...it was our neighbor from across the street...i answer and she sounded very frantic....all i can make out is grille and fire...i go outside and there it is....the grille...infront of my car...engulfed in flames...the hose that carried the propane to the top of the grille was spewing flames...i dunno how long it was like that but if it had exploded...my car wouldve been toasted....were still very confused to why it caught on fire....but it was scary....and my car was helpless....just sitting there in the garage while right outside the grille was on fire....

yep..that was my day...how eventful was ur guys days?

actually lance..it wasnt a grease fire...some how...the rubber hose that the propane goes thru melted off the fitting for the regulator (how u control how much gas u use to cook)....then once that melted...the grease then caught on fire as the stickers for the directions and the plastic ***** turned from black to white

but all in all....we saved it before it blew

They are lucky that tank didnt BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion - for all you non-firefighter guys) because it would be a mushroom cloud of fire and that tank would of spread across a 1.5 mile radius.
