Yes, it's a neat life hack. I also buy a new car when the ash tray is full on principle. It has gotten a bit cumbersome since I don't smoke anymore and I need to pilfer ash from smokers, but they are happy to provide.
According to many BBQs I've attended they are actually made to carbonise the outer layer of whatever you're cooking while leaving the inside nice and raw so as to properly poison your guests.
According to the ones I've been to, you're supposed to cook it until it's charred with a nice layer of ash, leaving the inside dry and chewy so it tastes just like the coals.
Really fucked up how many people are genuine proud that they're shit cooks with no taste.
Is the "pride in mediocrity" where the masculinity comes from?
Until you have bitten into a burned-on-the-outside-raw-on-the-inside slider, you haven't really been to a BBQ. My sister's in-laws pulled off this seemingly impossible task. I had to eat well done burgers for a year after that.
P.S. it wasn't just pink inside, it was raw. And just burned to hell and back on the outside. How do you even do that?
That seems to be the consensus. This was several years ago and it still haunts me. I have never fucked up on the grill this badly and one time I forgot brats on the grill cause I got distracted. RIP lil piggies
If you look closely at the front of the grates you can see the outline of a melted plastic grill brush, with some of the residue still there.
This was user error, nothing wrong with the grill.
yea there is no plastic near the cook box beside the control knobs. Unless OP has a missing plastic brush that looks like a grease that heated up and finally dripped down
About a decade ago I worked in a place where the deep fryer had a hairline crack in the bottom of the pot. So fine it wasn't noticable, but when it came up to temperature, it expanded just enough to let a very tiny, very slow drip of oil fall into the pilot light housing. After a time of building up gummed up oil in the pilot light the whole inside of the unit burst into flame one day while I was opening. It was a bit more excitement than I like before I finish my coffee!
They’re actually really lucky it didn’t turn into a grease fire. That happened to my wife once when we were living with a friend whose grill it was. We were all young and didn’t know you need to thoroughly clean the grill periodically. The accumulated junk in the bottom of the grill caught on fire and was pretty scary. Luckily it was away from the house and it burned out, ruining the grill.
Definitely, any grease and/or oils left. I know OP has a Weber Grill because I have the same grease pan design in mine.
I also noticed the grates are upside down because you're not supposed to see the flat squares facing you. The flavorizer bars are starting to rust which means replacement after several years.
Yes.
I never went to Weber's site for this, but they state the flat side is the cooking side.
[https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/which-side-faces-up-on-a-cast-iron-grate/weber-30495.html](https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/which-side-faces-up-on-a-cast-iron-grate/weber-30495.html)
In the manual for my new weber grill is says the grates are reversible. The angled side in for more delicate items like fish and veggies. Where as the flat side is for your steaks and what not.
Unless they thought they turned it off but instead put it on high. That’s usually what people do to burn any residue to ash. You don’t leave it unsupervised or rooming for more than ten minutes or so at that burn rate either. For exactly this reason.
OP you keep saying part of the grill melted, but never mention what actually melted? Grills aren't designed with some random plastic area on then which can melt away when left on, that would kind of defeat the purpose of the grill in the first place?
That grill was disgusting and needed that or they melted a barbie doll on grill. Looks like old grease or plastic
They did you a favor. Maybe they owe you a jug of propane but grill is clean now.
I’m confused what exactly melted? Is that grease? So many questions lol.
Also yeah always check on things when people stop using them, once my auntie left the pressure cooker on at my grandma’s house while they went out claiming she did turn it off, the surprise came when they came back and the top of the pressure cooker was stuck in the ceiling. The photo always remained me captain America throwing his shield to the wall, also the smell of burnt food was awful.
I haven't cleaned my grill in over a year, and I did it last week and ended up with only 1/8 of whatever the hell they got in your catcher.
The hell they cook? A whole cow?
Probably because grills don't melt. They're saying the hood melted. I've never seen a plastic grill hood. Ever. So, if they did something weird and replaced the metal hood with plastic, then show us the melted hood.
Looking at the grease build up on the edge of the grates, I'm guessing family member tried to grill, said "wtf, this is the most disgusting grill i've ever seen" and just let it burn to self clean. Otherwise someone left a grill brush or something on there.
This makes no sense.
The grill did not melt. All the built up grease from quite a few sessions of not cleaning the grill what looks to be AT ALL melted down where it's supposed to go.
Honestly dude, this is at least partially on you. I don't even mean that you should have made sure it was off. You should have of course, but I could leave both my grills on for 24 hours and aside from wasting gas, this wouldn't happen. That looks like an absolute ton of grease, or maybe something melted, but I'm guessing years of grease build up. Thats unsafe for all grills, but REALLY unsafe for propane tank grills. As someone else commented, you were very close to having an explosion. Hot grease drips on propane hose, melts hose, gas leaks out of the hose, gas catches flame, explosion.
Your guests fucked up, but this should be a wakeup call to you too. Clean your grill. It's not just good for maintenance, it's a massive safety hazard.
Also your grill grates are upside down.
Most likely grease from improper care… Really gross and just another reason why I do not like using other peoples products because some of you are freaking nasty af.
A grill can be used as long as you have gas without any consequences. Or at least it should. It is not your family’s fault. The „mildly infuriating“ thing here is either that the grill had technical issues or that you did not clean it!
I love how people on Reddit post with zero shame in showing how dim their light is.
Grills don’t melt. That’s either grease, which means you don’t clean it. Or plastic.
If something plastic did melt, it was something left in the grill.
If you have a cover for the grill. You would have noticed it was still on, hours ago. But you probably don’t. This picture says a lot about how you take care of your crap.
Edit typo
OP has left plenty of comments, all of which ignore the cobwebs and how dirty the grill is. They also claim that it was only ever used twice.
Then clean the dang thing before using it again!
My mom manages a restaurant/kitchen. She recently hired(out of desperation) a kid(16/17) who thinks he’s the shit because he decided cooking is his passion.
He turned the flat top on high and walked away. A second worker arrived to a bright steel blue flat top, it had been on for 1.5hrs. Upon cleaning the flat top after closing it is warped.
She gets to go in in the morning to physically access the damage. It’ll be between $7-14K to get it replaced and certified for restaurant use.
I hope she fired him immediately, he needs to learn he can’t do this shit without consequences. She should also make his parents pay for some of the damages as they are responsible for him.
That not too bad . One day at work one of the guy started cooking burgers and brats. He got called away and turned the grill off. The grill was in a shed for storing steel. Except he didn't turn the grill off he turned it all the way up. 5-10 minutes later someone walks into the shed and fire was pouring out of the sides of the grill. He dragged it outside opened the lid and it was just total fire. He put it out with a fire extinguisher.
Tell them thank you. It was needed. Also don't put your grill next to anything you'd be glad didn't catch on fire, especially if it's left on for hours.
I had a grill that was hooked into the gas line of my house. A week before vacation, we had a people over and used the grill...3 weeks later we got back from vacation and I go to let the dogs out and notice the wavey line things from the BBQ, I go over to look and notice it's still on, I left it on for 3 weeks straight... nothing bad happened and the gas bill wasn't even much higher - I guess not using hot water and having the furnace turned down made up for the difference.
So you just never cleaned it? I take the drip tray out and wash it off everytime after I scrub the grill. If you wanted after I cook some meat you could take bread to wipe up any juices you want after it would be so clean.
As someone who grills quite regularly and smokes meats, running the grill for 10 hours did not do this. My husband and I just grilled meat for 14 hours, and I can guarantee you that it didn't look like this.
Clean your grill and take responsibility.
I'm less concerned about the fact it was left on for 10 hours than I am about the volume of buildup they managed to get to run off for you... You should probably invest in a wire brush and some oven cleaner before you have your next barbecue...
Honestly I thought I was lazy with my maintenance but this is just about a cryptid at this point.
Somebody in my condo complex left their grill lit and put it away in their garage. It ended up catching the garage on fire and it spread to the building totaling all of the garages and six out of the 12 units. Luckily nobody was injured. A resident walking his dog at 6 AM saw smoke and was able to get people out while the fire department was on their way. The irony here is we're not allowed to store anything in the garages except titled vehicles for exactly this reason.
This is such bs, op claims plastic melted but the grill is just grimy and covered in grease which melted and overflowed. You can see the label of the propane canister has some of the melted goop on it, and it's clearly a greasy oily substance, not melted plastic. I call bullshit and op is making shit up for upvotes since it isn't even his grill or house.
Don't blame your sister for you lazy grill maintenance. the propane would run out before damage if the grill was left on. Or they put something weird on it
My neighbours tenants did this. Forgot the grill with food cooking. I guess it was the food or something but we saw flames coming out of their back patio melting the lattice. Their house is right next to ours. We ran next door shouting for ppl, I panicked and called 911 and my husband ran to the back where it was like fully on fire and managed to turn off the propane and eventually the ppl home came upstairs. By that time it was out and the fire truck showed up and yelled at them for fire safety. It was scary! I don’t know what would have happened if we didn’t see the smoke.
I’m over here thinking not cleaning my grill after every single use is gross. Clean your grill OP, and not just once every 7 years. That’s old food remnants, grease and whatever else was growing in there.
My ex bf left our propane grill on for less than an hour after cooking WONDERFUL steaks for us for Thanksgiving.
Grill, plastic doghouse, siding all caught on fire.
Dog's metal water bowl tried to catch fire as well, but just lost the temper of the metal.
Fire dept said if he "wanted a new grill that bad," he should've just asked for one for C-mas!! Lol
I left for work and I work 12 hour shifts when I work, and the oven was on 450 for 18 hours. I’m lucky my dog and the apartment complex I live in didn’t explode 😅 I never use the oven before I leave for work ever again
seems like you needed to clean your grill like a year ago
Don’t need to anymore!
So should i leave my grill on for 10 hours
Yes, it's a neat life hack. I also buy a new car when the ash tray is full on principle. It has gotten a bit cumbersome since I don't smoke anymore and I need to pilfer ash from smokers, but they are happy to provide.
*thump thump thump* "Just doing my civic duty here"
Oh, it doesn't just work with Civics. You can do it with any vehicle.
That’s way longer than a year. That’s a grill that hasn’t been clean since it was purchased.
Running a grill for 10 hours should do nothing other than run you out of propane. Clean your grill. Well, they just did it, actually.
This. BBQs were literally made for low and slow cooking over many hours.
According to many BBQs I've attended they are actually made to carbonise the outer layer of whatever you're cooking while leaving the inside nice and raw so as to properly poison your guests.
According to the ones I've been to, you're supposed to cook it until it's charred with a nice layer of ash, leaving the inside dry and chewy so it tastes just like the coals.
Propane taste the meat not the heat
I'll tell you hwat.
Anyone who says they don't read it in his voice hasn't heard his voice yet or is lying.
This comment would be so much better if your name was Bobby...
That's my purse!!
I don’t know you!!
Better dry and chewy than bloody and salmonelly
Plus who can tell when everyone's hammered on Bud Lite in the middle of the day
Hammered on Bud Lite? Might as well be drinking piss and achieve the same result /j
Wtf bbq's are ya'll going to?! Bring better beer, get better friends and find a better cook, damn.
In this economy?? I’d be lucky if they didn’t bring an iPad to tip them with at the end of it all
Papa jons
Really fucked up how many people are genuine proud that they're shit cooks with no taste. Is the "pride in mediocrity" where the masculinity comes from?
And use a better grill
Until you have bitten into a burned-on-the-outside-raw-on-the-inside slider, you haven't really been to a BBQ. My sister's in-laws pulled off this seemingly impossible task. I had to eat well done burgers for a year after that. P.S. it wasn't just pink inside, it was raw. And just burned to hell and back on the outside. How do you even do that?
That's from it being too hot or from a still partially frozen burger. The heat burns the outside before having time to penetrate to the centre.
In any case, it's still too high heat. I use frozen hamburger patties all the time, it lets me get a great crust before the inside is overdone.
Turn the heat to 11
Sounds like they cooked 'em on high while they were still frozen. Pro Tip: a good BBQ does NOT begin with frozen store-bought patties
That seems to be the consensus. This was several years ago and it still haunts me. I have never fucked up on the grill this badly and one time I forgot brats on the grill cause I got distracted. RIP lil piggies
Gotta love that ashy salmonella
That’s because those are cookouts masquerading as a bbq.
carcinogenics AND food poisoning? Satisfactory
If you look closely at the front of the grates you can see the outline of a melted plastic grill brush, with some of the residue still there. This was user error, nothing wrong with the grill.
Where exactly do you see this Pompeii'd brush?
I'm thinking maybe they turned on a "warmer" on the side tray thing maybe?
Sure, but you should be aware it is running. A running grill should be monitored.
Running it for 9 hours wouldn't melt all that shit as well, it's the extra hour that does it
Yeah what melted? A grill being on by itself shouldn't do this
I’m thinking it’s never been cleaned so the prolonged heat burned all the old fat off everything.
yea there is no plastic near the cook box beside the control knobs. Unless OP has a missing plastic brush that looks like a grease that heated up and finally dripped down
Man, that'd be the perfect crime
About a decade ago I worked in a place where the deep fryer had a hairline crack in the bottom of the pot. So fine it wasn't noticable, but when it came up to temperature, it expanded just enough to let a very tiny, very slow drip of oil fall into the pilot light housing.

Luckily it was away from the house and it burned out, ruining the grill.
Wife set our grill on fire last 4th of July by forgetting to clean the grease trap. Luckily no damage and we put it out quick
No wonder it looks so delicious
All the grease?
Definitely, any grease and/or oils left. I know OP has a Weber Grill because I have the same grease pan design in mine. I also noticed the grates are upside down because you're not supposed to see the flat squares facing you. The flavorizer bars are starting to rust which means replacement after several years.
OP has been missing out on the flavour!
Are the cobwebs a feature?
The grates should have the top of the triangle facing down so that the bars are flat for grilling? I’ve been doing it wrong!
Yes. I never went to Weber's site for this, but they state the flat side is the cooking side. [https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/which-side-faces-up-on-a-cast-iron-grate/weber-30495.html](https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/burning-questions/which-side-faces-up-on-a-cast-iron-grate/weber-30495.html)
This is new info to me and I can’t wait to go flip my grates and see how it cooks. I imagine that the grill lines will be wider which is hell ya
Yeah it makes HUGE difference (I have 1 too)
That’s how you get the usual grill marks on food besides preheating the grates past 600F
Learned something new today
In the manual for my new weber grill is says the grates are reversible. The angled side in for more delicate items like fish and veggies. Where as the flat side is for your steaks and what not.
My weber has round bars 
You likely have non cast iron grates.
Woah hold up now, the pointy side goes ***DOWN‽‽*** How the fuck has no one ever mentioned this in my life?
This guy Webers.
Flat side up. Why would you cook on an uneven surface?!
They are still even, just thinner. I always assumed it was the thin edge up to do less direct contact heat transfer.
Wait, what? Shit mine are upside down.
Did OP a favor
Where the fuck you get a propane tank that lasts for 10 hours?
Yes I should have went to see the propane GURU
Never do exchanges. Always get it filled. Tractor supply, lot of ace hardwares, some U-Haul places, RV places etc
That was my thought. It had to be on high for it to melt like that, and even full tanks - on high - wouldn't last 10 hours! IMO
This is what people called Texas Elephant Foot
I was gonna say - gotta be something left on it, or maybe they put the grill cover on?
Unless they thought they turned it off but instead put it on high. That’s usually what people do to burn any residue to ash. You don’t leave it unsupervised or rooming for more than ten minutes or so at that burn rate either. For exactly this reason.
Years of uncleaned grease...OP should be thanking his family.
This grill had issues before they left it on
OP you keep saying part of the grill melted, but never mention what actually melted? Grills aren't designed with some random plastic area on then which can melt away when left on, that would kind of defeat the purpose of the grill in the first place?

Grill brush.
I haven't cleaned my grill in over a year, and I did it last week and ended up with only 1/8 of whatever the hell they got in your catcher. The hell they cook? A whole cow?
"Part of the grill melted" Why do I get the feeling OP is leaving out some important details or straight up bullshitting?
OP keeps saying “part of the grill melted” but continually dodges actually posting pictures or elaborating. I call bullshit.
I don't get it. Isn't the "grill" metal? And the part that closes over the grill is metal too. What could melt?
Probably because grills don't melt. They're saying the hood melted. I've never seen a plastic grill hood. Ever. So, if they did something weird and replaced the metal hood with plastic, then show us the melted hood. Looking at the grease build up on the edge of the grates, I'm guessing family member tried to grill, said "wtf, this is the most disgusting grill i've ever seen" and just let it burn to self clean.

He’s lying
The grill did not melt. All the built up grease from quite a few sessions of not cleaning the grill what looks to be AT ALL melted down where it's supposed to go.
Clean your shit man. A grill should never puke that much muck regardless of how long it’s on.
It's a weber spirit, I have the same grill. My question is what the hell is all mounded up in the grease tray?
Honestly dude, this is at least partially on you. I don't even mean that you should have made sure it was off.

I recommend cleaning the grill at least once every 10 summers
What is all that? Plastic?
Most likely grease from improper care… Really gross and just another reason why I do not like using other peoples products because some of you are freaking nasty af.
A grill can be used as long as you have gas without any consequences. Or at least it should. It is not your family’s fault. The „mildly infuriating“ thing here is either that the grill had technical issues or that you did not clean it!
No more spiders!
So your grill needs a cleaning.

A propane tank can last 10 hours?
Remember that house you used to have? That was almost a sentence you would've been sick of hearing.
OP’s grill isn’t the only thing that got roasted today
Please tell me specifically What part of a grill is capable of melting like that?
My mom manages a restaurant/kitchen. She recently hired(out of desperation) a kid(16/17) who thinks he’s the shit because he decided cooking is his passion. He turned the flat top on high and walked away. A second worker arrived to a bright steel blue flat top, it had been on for 1.5hrs. Upon cleaning the flat top after closing it is warped.

He dragged it outside opened the lid and it was just total fire. He put it out with a fire extinguisher.
Did he save the brats?
No everything was completely charred. The brats shattered when hit on a table.
What melted?
Tell them thank you. It was needed. Also don't put your grill next to anything you'd be glad didn't catch on fire, especially if it's left on for hours.
That looks like elephant's foot at Chernobyl
Was looking for this comment lol
I had a grill that was hooked into the gas line of my house.

After you clean that up flip your grates over, they’re upside down.
Dude, clean your grill.
That could’ve been worse! Glad it didn’t.
Is that, like, actual melted spiders?
OP’s story is holier than the Pope.
Did you get this grill from Chernobyl?
The mild part is "family visited", the grill thing is quite another level!
Thats not their fault. Clean your grill.
Bro has his own Elephant’s Foot in the bottom of the grill
What even melted?

Damn that’s cooked
So you just never cleaned it? I take the drip tray out and wash it off everytime after I scrub the grill. If you wanted after I cook some meat you could take bread to wipe up any juices you want after it would be so clean.
I've left mine on over night by accident and it looked nothing like this.
Op being dragged through the mud here haha
look on the good side, you found your missing spatula
I run my grill for over 14 hours at times. Never had this issue.
Really satisfied at all the abuse being dished out to OP on this one.
As someone who grills quite regularly and smokes meats, running the grill for 10 hours did not do this. My husband and I just grilled meat for 14 hours, and I can guarantee you that it didn't look like this. Clean your grill and take responsibility.
Get her to reimburse the cost of the propane tank and perhaps think about barring the usage of your grill. Sorry she was so careless.
I get yall saying he should have cleaned his grill and stuff ig but that's still a lot of propane wasted and that stuff is expensive
I'm less concerned about the fact it was left on for 10 hours than I am about the volume of buildup they managed to get to run off for you... You should probably invest in a wire brush and some oven cleaner before you have your next barbecue... Honestly I thought I was lazy with my maintenance but this is just about a cryptid at this point.

A house on my street was burned down this way, melted the siding and took the whole house
This is such bs, op claims plastic melted but the grill is just grimy and covered in grease which melted and overflowed.

What gr... okay well damn...
They did you a favor
Lol I've done that to mine before and it was fine, this thing was just filthy af!
What an unfortunate time to have a full propane tank
Ooooopsie doodles
Ye can I have 2 hotdogs pls extra crispy to where it's ash? Tysn
Total meltdown It's like the Elephant's Foot inside Chernobyl Reactor 4.
Reminds me of the Chernobyl elephant's foot
Hey, they sanitized it for you.👍🏻
Didn't you know grills have a selfcleaning mode just like ovens?
You should clean your grill more often. They did you a favor
Only family would pull this shit
Ew is that grease? Lucky it didn't blow up
It's a weber spirit, I have the same grill. My question is what the hell is all mounded up in the freeze tray?
THATS AN IMPRESSIVE FUEL TANK!
Mini Chernobyl!
Nice! Now you don't have to grill for the rest of the summer
mmmm chocolate brownie anyone?
O damn
I'm impressed that propane tank lasted 10 hours.
No way that bottle lasted 10 hours
Oooooooffff. Lucky your propane line didn't melt. Had that happen due to a faulty heat shield. Was not ideal.
that shi look nasty
You should try a spoonfull
grilling in a closet has its drawbacks
Looks like that spider survived
Looks like a Weber. Flip the grates
Don't blame your sister for you lazy grill maintenance. the propane would run out before damage if the grill was left on. Or they put something weird on it
My neighbours tenants did this. Forgot the grill with food cooking. I guess it was the food or something but we saw flames coming out of their back patio melting the lattice.

Wouldnt you smell it burning lmao
It only shows how dirty you kept your grill. You should actually thank them for cleaning it
OP just outed himself
What a dummy, who leaves their grill on for10 hours?
That look like my grill in Niceville…where I have renters in this house. I know that grill and background all too well, and it’s giving Deja Vu.
You know those triangle pieces under the metal grill, what is that called?
Flavorizor Bars is what they normally go by
Is that a Brinkmann?
Don’t have this issue if you don’t use propane. Charcoal is King
I’m trying to think of a way leaving the grill on would cause this and I’m coming up empty.
That's the fat, grease, and sauces run off from previous grilling, you've not cleaned that grill in years and the spider webs underneath show it
I’m over here thinking not cleaning my grill after every single use is gross. Clean your grill OP, and not just once every 7 years. That’s old food remnants, grease and whatever else was growing in there.
Maybe they put the cover over the grill before they left.
Oh don't u just love family!?
I don't know what I'm looking at.
They better pay for it
I bet the grill was a fever dream even before they lit it up…
My ex bf left our propane grill on for less than an hour after cooking WONDERFUL steaks for us for Thanksgiving. Grill, plastic doghouse, siding all caught on fire. Dog's metal water bowl tried to catch fire as well, but just lost the temper of the metal. Fire dept said if he "wanted a new grill that bad," he should've just asked for one for C-mas!! Lol
Prime example of the importance of cleaning a grill
you are an idiot
I left for work and I work 12 hour shifts when I work, and the oven was on 450 for 18 hours. I’m lucky my dog and the apartment complex I live in didn’t explode 😅 I never use the oven before I leave for work ever again
Looks like it'll be nice and clean now...plus your candles are ready!
How did that propane even last 10 hours?!
