A question for the group

Let me start by saying this did not happen to me.  Assuming pucks were advancing normally, has anyone ever heard of a puck igniting into flame on the puck burner without some sort of assistance such as fat running down the wall and landing on the burner plate?

Was my own fault by not cleaning the V tray and some grrase dripped on the end puck, However it did not start to flame until i had the door open to clean the v tray, it was just for a second the flame was on the puck, gave it a good whoof and closed the door. No more flame.

No but wood ,grease and heat could do it. That's why I prefer a cold smoke setup where the smoke generator is removed from smoker. Just in case. I have seen electric burners in stoves have grease hit them and a small but safe flame shoots an inch or two above the coil and goes back out.

No - I have never heard of a puck igniting without greese, gas, or something to make it happen. I have not tried it, but I suspect that if one were to put a torch to it and managed to ignite it, that the flame would go out very shortly after taking the torch away from it.

I've never had one ignite, but notice that the bisquettes still on the drive guide had grease on them, but they never caught on fire. I don't know how long that was going on before I caught it. What was causing grease to flow underneath the drip pan and drip on the bisquettes was due to an unlevel smoker. I now occasionally check to make sure the smoker is level.

One night I was in the Chat Room and forgot to attend to the smoker. Sometime told me I better get out there and check the thing. Thank goodness I did..... I was using the original bowl and the pucks were stacking on top of each other. Sh*t I said and went in to get more water and a foil pan but when I came back out they were on fire. The puck setting on the burner and the one behind it were aflame. I think the air from me opening and shutting the door ignited them.

Once again user error! Stupid me!!!

Now thats some scarey,$hit.I guess if it is possible to ignite,then I have to be even more diligent.
