Flaming wieners

[kickaha]

Bought some lovely bratwursts yesterday. Threw them on the grill last night. Injected them with a bit o' Ballard Bitters first to give them a nice beer undertone.

WARNING:

Beer contains alcohol.

Alcohol is flammable.

When beer boils inside a sausage casing, and then sprays out the injection hole in a fine mist, it becomes *highly* flammable.




I blew up my wiener.

I keep forgetting

I tend to think that beer doesn't contain enough alcohol (when compared with the water level) to be flammable. I keep forgetting that that is true only of American Generic Brew, not true of most of what my friends drink :).

What do I know, I don't drink the stuff :).

Normally it doesn't, but when you heat it into a gaseous state, and then have it jet out in a fine stream into flames... foomp.

In retrospect, it's obvious what happened. :)

And even more obvious that it needs to be experimented with more. ;)

Just don't damage any of your soft bits. Leah would be upset :).
