Gas Grill Facial

I had a gas grill facial yesterday. My facial hair removal was compliments of the miracle of a gas grill flash fire.

As I prepared the grill for BBQ chicken, impatient to get started, I took initiative and turned on the gas grill, turned on the burners, clicked the ignitor...nothing. I did it again. And BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. A flash of fire blew into my face as I jumped back and said: !@@##@@$#!~~~!#@#@>. You heard me.

It was fast and in a flash, my facial hair (only on my left side) was gone. My left eyebrow took a hit as well as the peach fuzz on my back and neck. The smell of burning human hair filled the air, as my bangs, and long blond hair was singed, curled and quickly burned to a crisp. Instead of BBQ Chicken, the air became filled with the scent of smelly burned human hair. It could have been a lot worse. There are web sites that help reduce the chance of injury when cooking on a gas grill. But as for me... I will take my chances with gas grills when there is BBQ chicken involved. It was an accident and I had a quick and long overdue facial hair removal treatment. All is well that ends well. I learned a few things...

Lesson# 1: Always let the owner of the gas grill start the grill.
Lesson #2: Always let the owner of the gas grill start the grill.
Lesson #3: Always follow lesson #1 and #2.
