Howdy gang-
So Cook #2 on my new Deck Boss got exciting. Wife wanted to cook some Bacon for breakfast on the pit, and I has always been dissipointed in how long bacon took on the Treager, so I had the brite (dumb) idea to crank the pit up to 500f, and of course we used the new grill grates as a skillet. Hind-sight being 20/20 et all, it was predictible what happened next.
Supprising to me was how long it took to get the fire out. I of course unplugged the pit right away, and covered the top vents with a wet towel. (no chimey on the Deck Boss, just louvers on the back of the barrel). After another 5 minutes or so, I also plugged the grease drain trying to remove air flow. Still, it was about 30 minutes before the last if the fire right above the grease drain went out.

Bacon was a bit crispy-
A few minutes with Barkeepers Friend, and we are good as new again...
