I was doing a high temp seer around 600* on a nice porterhouse to night 90 seconds per side. Closed the vents down to dwell for 3-4 min. I opened top vent to let some heat and gases out. Did a couple of burps and kaboom. Scared the hell out of me. I have had flashback before, but nothing like that. Has anyone had that happen before? Buy the way, the steak was delicious.

Fred,
Open both vents and wait a bit. Lose any facial hair?

Ya gotta love it. Can't get excitement like this on the old Weber. That's why we have a Cool Refreshing Beverage near by. (Left hand) in my case.

These things can be a bit dangerous if you do a high temp cook and theres lots of people around. I always make sure the kids go inside and tell anyone around to leave the dome alone if they want to keep their hair :woohoo: Ive had mine roaring along before and close the daisy and it blow a fireball out the bottom vent.

I have to watch my dogs around the Eggs, they like to hoover while I cook because they think I am cooking their dinner. Every once and a while I get a good flame shooting out the lower vent after I close the vents a bit. That one really hurts and does a great job in removing hair around the knees. :pinch:

The lower vent flame throwers are kind of scary..... :woohoo:
