I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.
Big fires flare up in a wind, but little ones are blown out unless they are carried in under cover.
A light breath fans the flame, a violent gust extinguishes it.
A crooked log makes a strait fire.
As you get older, though, you realize there are fire extinguishers. You do have an ability to control the flames.
Start with a clean grill. Keep it clean by brushing with a wire brush after preheating, and again after cooking. Make sure to oil your grates and your food before putting it on the grill to keep it from sticking.
I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.
I just want to bend fire. You know, it'd be cool to throw some fire to a couple of old agents, the ex wife.
