Singed hair

We had company over for steaks...sorry no pics... I've posted a few steaks before. I made my parmesan crusted garlic steak butter to place on top of the steaks. I had the egg up to 600 degrees when I put them on. Flipped at 4 minutes and place the butter packets on the steak, closed the lid and let go another 4minutes. When I went to take them off, I burped the egg slowly and then opened the lid. The butter dripping on the coals caused an inferno. Dome temp was only 560ish but I think opening it up and all that extra oxygen just really set it off. Well, no hair on my tong hand knuckles, but this is what I noticed in the mirror later on in the evening.
Somehow the heat of the fire singed the hair on my head, been egging for four years never had this happen before :-)

Got my eyebrows and eyelashes a few months ago. Guess a guy shouldn't stick his face over the dome opening to check on a pizza cooking at 600 degrees. Idiot!! Ha.XL BGE

I love the parmesan crusted garlic steak butter....I can't hardly fix a steak and eat it at home now without it. Do you put pecans in yours ??

Been there done that. Was baking pretzels at only 450 and opened lid...bam! Singed hair on my head, lucky it was not bad. I was shocked as it was only 450 but now super careful.

you can put the butter on the steak as it is resting. will melt, and won't flare up or cause fatty smoke when it drips off.

Hans61 ...and I've never tried Panko in the finishing butter !!!1
I agree with Darby_Crenshaw ....use as a finishing butter, while resting.
OOOps, looking back through my pics, I used Blue Cheese instead of Parmesan last time.
Butter, lemon juice, Blue Cheese, and nuts.

No butter flare, but I forgot to burp my Egg on a 500 degree sear when I was putting the meat on. Lost the hair on my left arm and most of my left eyebrow.
I now even burp my gasser after that incident.

I did a post a couple years ago about forgetting to burp the egg when over 400. I singed my eyebrows and some of my hear that I have on my head. Luckily I was wearing a long sleeve tee shirt.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.
