Has this ever happened to anyone?
Last night I went to light my grill outside and the igniter button is not working. So I took a match, threw it in, and the grill did not light. I went to throw another match in when POOF!!! The grill lit and burned off all the hair on my right arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I smelled like singed hair until I showered this morning!!!
I am thinking when I threw the first match in, while I thought it went all the way in, got caught and suddenly fell and ignited the grill while I was throwing in the second match.
I still have my eyebrows though!

Re: Has this ever happened to anyone?
That is scary 
Didn't happen to me, but my cat TJ got too close the flame on the stove burner and singed his kitty whiskers off

Re: Has this ever happened to anyone?
my Mom did that with a gas stove when she was younger - lost her eyebrows and lashes !
Glad you weren't hurt more seriously - that could've been messy!

Re: Has this ever happened to anyone?
THIS is why I will not light a BBQ.
When I was younger this happened to me when lighting an oven and it burned my eyelashes, eyebrows and my hairline.

Re: Has this ever happened to anyone?
This is why I am scared to death every time I light the grill.
I think if you don't get it lit on the first or second try you are supposed to turn the gas off and wait a few minutes for it to dissapate before trying again.
If the gas is running for too long without lighting t builds up too much and that is what causes it to explode like that.
I hate BBQ's! So scary!

Re: Has this ever happened to anyone?
Thanks Everyone. Yes I am ok - but I need to be more careful! I do think you are suppose to turn the gass off if it doesn't light right away and wait - but I didn't do that.....next time I will!

Sometimes, there is a spider nest in the gas pipe. Especially after not being used for a while.

Someone else told me the same thing. DH needs to take it apart and check it out.
