Alright...been cooking on my second large egg...for 5 years now and ran the temp up to (whats at the 180 degree position)...900 degrees??? And burped it 2wice...the 3rd time the flame came out so bad that I couldn't do anything but throw up the lid as fast as I could & lick my wounds! What a smell...and I don't mean the burgers. Fortunately the lid stayed up and did not come crashing down and break the lid or something. How come after burping it 2wice it still got me???   Jeff

    I've been wondering lately what separates a newbie(like myself) from a true egghead, I guess I just got my answer.

    You need to open the lid fully after the burp. If you closed the lid after burping without opening it fully, you added oxygen to a burning fire creating the flashback of flame. Did that once before and the flame shot out a good 3 feet. Not cool at all.

    +1 on opening it slow.  I've only had one depilatory accident involving FAME.
