Left the gasser on all night

[RamaJama]

Last night was hectic trying to get out of the house and get the kids to the county fair. Of course I’m not trying to spend $14 on a polish sausage at the fair, so I did some grilled shrimp and poblano quesadillas beforehand. In the chaos though I left the Gensis on until about 9 this morning smh. I scrubbed the GrillGrates down with an onion since it looked like some seasoning might have burned off. I am not looking forward to the next gas bill lol

[RiverJeff]

Won't have to clean those grates any time soon!

[Dan Deter]

The polish sausage may have been cheaper...

[RamaJama]

For sure

[Spinaker]

Ha, I have done this more than once. of course, it was when I was younger and living with my parents. Pretty sure I had to mow the lawn more than once, free of charge.

Been there.. done that..

I've done this too. I wish there was a way to have a light turn on in my outdoor kitchen when the gas was on. That way I might notice it before I turned in for bed.

I've done this too, but with a propane tank, and come back the next day to an empty tank. Most recently, I somehow left ONE of the 6 burners on my Camp Chef griddle on low heat overnight after cooking and cleaning. Somehow I got busy and didn't cover it up like I usually do that night, and went out to do it the next morning, to find it still burning. What had been a nearly full tank was a nearly empty one.

A i have had Grandkids turn the burners on unlit and uncovered only to find the butane tank empty when I went to use it.

Wow! Here’s an oopsie I actually have not done…yet. I can’t wait for my turn.

[troymeister]

I hate when that happens...done that with a new 30lb tank.

Happened a lot over the years. Should not have to worry about any bacteria

One of the things I like about my Napoleon is that the burner handles have idiot lights that come on when the burner is turned on. Of course, that means I really shouldn't have left a burner on that one time.

[FireMan]

I wish there was a light that would turn on in my head. But, then again, that would be fer even more for other things including burners left on.

[Porkies]

I'd need different colored lights - like those tabs for notebooks.

I am kinda surprised this is the first time I have seen someone mention this in 3.5 years. Haha.

[Attjack]

Why would we highlight our boneheadedness?

[STEbbq]

Attjack well, there’s a FAIL thread so there is a certain appeal.

[Argoboy]

That is why i cover our gasser every time after i am done cooking. It is easy to do, especially if you turn the heat up to burn away any grease from a cook. My wife double checks me usually.

[FireMan]

Well shoot, doin it yer way if’n ya let the burner on ya just might do a number on the cover. 🙃
