This actually has nothing to do with BGE yet everything to do BGE.

Lets go back 2 weeks:
I realize im down to my last bag of lump, so I order 10 bags of RW lump from Ace as they were having their sale. I picked it up in my van, and I had to run some errands that day so I strayed 50 miles from home. All of a sudden my power steering pump went causing a chain reaction of knocking off some belts ending in overheating. I was lucky enough to get to a service station just as the van started to overheat. I was leaving for vacation the next day, so I left my van there and Ubered home.

Fast forward to yesterday:
My wife pulled some steaks out of the freezer Monday night and asked me to cook them last night. I go to light the egg and realize I don't enough lump in grill and wait I have no lump in reserve. I forgot about the van in the shop which has 10 bags of lump in it (vacations tend to make me forget things). I call the shop and they're already closed for the night so that will have to wait until tomorrow (today).

Here is the dilemma I had my heart set on reversed seared steaks ever since my wife told me she took them out to defrost. I now preheat my oven to 250 and put the steaks in. In the mean time I break out my CI pan and start to preheat it on stove top. When the steaks reach 105 IT I pulled from oven and put them in the blazing hot CI pan. I get a slight flare up as I normally do, nothing to crazy. I then put a slice of butter on top each steak, as the butter melts and runs off the steaks I get a little flare up again nothing to big. 45 seconds pass and its time to flip the steaks. I flip the first steak and get small flare up again and then I flip the second steak and I hear a loud pop. The next thing I know, theres fire almost touching my kitchen ceiling and I feel my self burning so I stop drop and roll. When Im satisfied that im not on fire, I stand and grab the pan the steaks were in the oven with and try to smother the fire that is blazing about 3.5' above the pan. Here is where I my true colors shine through. The flame is to strong to smother or im just not strong enough to smoother it either way this isn't working. I look over at the counter and we have baking soda there so Im about to grab it and through it on the steaks but something inside me tells me not to. I am now using the pan as a shield and directing the flame into the overhead hood keeping it away form my ceiling. This goes on for about 45 seconds and then I realize the steaks are gong to burn so I grab the tongs and pull the steak from the CI pan and through on counter all the time holding the oven pan as a heat shield, still directing the flames into the hood. About 30 seconds pass and Im finely able to smoother the fire with the pan. 

Wow that was close for those of you that don't know me I lost my last house to Superstorm Sandy and was affraid I was going to loose this house to fire (I guess im just going to work down the element chart). I obviously wasn't scared enough that I would sacrifice 2 perfectly marbled prime ribeyes. 

Now that the fire is out I access the damage and there is grease everywhere and I mean everywhere. As I start to clean up the grease my wife walks in and says WTF happened. I just looked at her and she let it go. Its at that point in time that she tells me you know you have burns all over your face and arms, are you OK. Well apparently when I stopped dropped and rolled the burning sensation I was feeling wasn't fire but grease burning the crap out of my skin.

All in all the house cleaned up pretty good were going to have repaint the ceiling above the stove and my skin will heel.

The steaks were PERFECT!!!

This all could have been prevented had I bought 12 bags the load before instead of just 10. So I orderd another 2 bags today (not on sale ouch)

I do not have any pictures of the steak but have a few of my burns if anyone cares to look:


Yes I know my arms are hairy deal with it

 and yes I know my head hair is thinning well actually from the front thinning but from the back bald


So I got 3 burns on my forehead 1 on my lip 2 on my chin 3 on my neck 6 on my right arm 4 on my left arm 1 one my right shoulder and 3 on my right leg and 2 on my scalp, a small price to pay for some of the best steak I ever had.

Sorry for the novel but can't explain it any other way.

I have done this method before and have not had this outcome. Has anyone ever had similar outcome or can anyone shed some light onto why this happened?
