  Wow. Vinnie, as a bbq man, I've heard of cooking with smoke and heat, but damn son, you really are cooking with fire! The meat is literally on fire!
  
  Quite a technique! That's either crazy skeeills that you just have to be born with, or you're just trying to keep the grill under control... Regardless, it's impressive.

  I think the taste of those ribs is enhanced by the risk involved in making them. The classic risk/reward equation!

    We should do a taste test. One person that sees the process and one that just comes in to a plate full of ribs. If the danger one wins, then I have some great new ideas for my future businesses group!

    I love this idea, but only if I'm the guy that sees the process. I don't want to risk having those ribs not taste as good as possible.

    I have to say though, it's not a proper rib blow-down unless there are some flames roaring around the room. If the chef was nervous, though, I might have started soaking towels in the sink and hosing down the roof!

  I hate to admit it but even I was scared in one of the above pictures. Can anyone guess which one?

    Yeah, we need to remember how I gave you the small salad tongs to get the meat out of that fire. Of course after all your hair burnt off your arms I magically found the big webber tongs. Guess I was distracted by following you and stomping out the flaming griddle on the deck.

    My guess - you're scared in the one by the pond. Cuz you don't really give a sh&t about Scott's deck.

    And the answer is...the first one. This is because in addition to the burners Scott seemed to have squirreled away something resembling rocket fuel under the grate. Within minutes of putting the meat on, the heat becaome so intense the the meat was totally on fire.
    
    Scott had given me only pair of short plastic salad tongs to work with and I literally couldn't access the far reaches of the grill without burning my hands. This meant very quick lunges at the beef followed by severe pain as my skin began to melt. My natural reflex caused me to toss some of the pieces right off the grill and onto the the wooden deck, and of course, they were on fire.
    
    Not exactly sure how I managed to pull through this (or how we ate the food) but it was terrifying and I'm glad it's over.
