One time my husband & I bought a new charcoal grill. We assembled it and decided to try it right away. He put some coal & lighter fluid, threw in a match…FWOOMP!!! When the fire died down a second later, the metal nameplate wasn’t on the front of the grill! We looked down on the pavement…and there it was, half-melted right into the pavement!
I do a lot of barbequing – real barbeque where you build the fire off to the side and draw the heat past the meat. Sticking the meat over the coals is grilling not barbequing, However, both are good.
The problem is after several barbeques, the grease builds up on that side of the barbecue. I have to remember to grill on that side and burn it out before it builds up too much, or I do get flames similar to today’s cartoon.
I usually keep a bed of unlit coals on that side and move them over. I barely need fluid when I do that.
A friend of mine used gasoline and scrap lumber to start his grill. Lightly charred the power lines feeding his house on one occasion; had the fire department out on another.

Toooooooo much lighter fluid I presume.

No need to worry. The lack of O2 will keep it from reaching that high.

Wonder if Crankshaft could beat this?

The sudden influx of thunderclouds with the Fox home as the center is still a mystery to the weather service.

The thrust alone from that sucker must’ve moved the earth at least a few feet farther from the sun!

Strickland Propane, taste the meat, not the heat.
