Whew! That was close!

These pictures still amaze me. Adam got this grill as a Christmas gift a few years ago from his dad and Gramp. He was so excited to have a new grill, and such a cool one at that! Our previous grill was old and falling apart and had caught fire one day. I actually sold it for $5 at a yard sale even though the bottom had holes in it and it was really unusable.

We have had some delicious meals on this grill over the past couple of years. Some of our favorites being ribs, steaks, grilled pizza, bananas, veggies and so much more. Yesterday we were planning to grill some ribs again when this tragedy happened. Adam turned the grill on the heat it up and went inside to get the ribs ready. A few minutes later I went outside to do some weeding and saw a lot of smoke. So much that I couldn't see the cars in the drive way. The grill had caught fire!

Thankfully we had a fire extinguisher on hand to put the blaze out before the propane tank blew. It was so hot the grill melted! We used the whole fire extinguisher and still had to get the hose out to finish extinguishing the flames. As sad as it is to see the grill go, we are forever thankful that our house did not burn down and no one was injured.
