Important: How to Avoid a "Flashback" When Cooking
If you operate your grill, then deprive the fire of oxygen by closing the top
and bottom air vents, a sudden surge of flame called a "flashback" can occur
if you suddenly open the dome of the grill. This occurs due to the sudden
exposure to oxygen, which causes a brief but intense amount of white heat.
To prevent a flashback, open both vents and wait 5 seconds, then raise
the dome about 1" for 2-3 seconds, then fully open the dome.
