The Effectiveness of Fire Retardant Sprays on a Grill
For giggles and laughs, I decided to test the theory of fire retardant being used on a gas grill. My neighbor claimed that the flames would stay low as the fire retardant would stop them from reaching the actual grill and charring the food. It was an intriguing theory, but I was certain it wasn’t correct. So, I doused the grill in the fire resistant fire retardant and turned the gas on high igniting robust blue flames. My theory was that the flames would still reach the grill tray, but wouldn’t burn or heat them up as much as normal.Well, it turns out both of our theories were wrong. The fire retardant put off a terrible odor upon being consumed in the flames of my gas grill, and the grill bars themselves turned black with char, a case of burned on fire retardant spay.
