I dampened the top to take the temp down a bit... and this is what I got!

Yup, the resulting heat and fuel is looking for oxygen so it can burn.
You saw the result. Be glad you didn't open the dome and saw what happened.
Here is what happenes - this is a picture of Ross in Venture and flashback at dome level.

Get the feet under that egg.

Gotta love that picture!!
Way cool! -
Seriously, FF,
You do need to put some kind of spacer between the bottom of your egg and the stone paver. The original little green feet are what most of us use.
There have been impressive pics on here where the wood under the paver was badly scorched. -
That is scary
-
This is scarier, lol:
But seriously, I've not heard of anyone being seriously injured by a backdraft/flashback in the 9 years I've been here. Exercise caution, but it isn't as scary as it looks.The Naked Whiz -
When egging keep little ones way back! Dogs to. Now cats are another story! :evil: :woohoo:

I taught my wife and close friends about burping the egg so if they are get curious or I ask them to check on something for me they know what to do. This and me assigned an egg watcher at parties (much like joe mayo on seinfeld) to make sure no one opens her up. Not sure what is worse
low and slow getting screwed up because of someone curious
or someone curious getting screwed up because they ruined my low and slow! -
My dad came over to my house and wanted to lift the lid. I had to tell him to "Leggo my Eggo".
