Thing that sounded like a good idea at the time, number 654655

If you're making bacon cheeseburgers, don't mix the grease from a pound of bacon into the hamburger before you throw it on the grill.

It makes the burgers taste good, but the 4-foot flames creeping onto the drip pan toward the propane tank is scary. The flames started the second the burgers hit the grill.

I turned the gas off halfway through the cook and the flames didn't die until well after the burgers were done.
