Had a super bad flair up. I have no hair left on my left arm. Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening again would be a great help.

Need a few more details.

I had charcoal over the entire tray. I was cooking for quite a few people. I got the grill up to 350° and set the burgers on. Once they started to cook down I had one heck of a grease fire that engulfed every burger and completely pegged my thermometer WELL past the 700° mark. What do I do to keep this from happening again? I plan on toughing up the missing paint areas.

I was using lump charcoal.

What is the secret to keeping these flare ups from happening? Maybe I posted this on the wrong section? If I did, could an administrator move it to the correct place?

Looks like you had more than a flare-up, you had a grease fire burning out the cooking chamber. To prevent something as big from happening again, keep the chamber cleaner with less grease waiting to ignite.

Sounds pretty simple thank you. What about the "seasoning" treatment? I used cooking spray and started the grill when I first bought it. Do I do that again since it burnt so badly?
