My attempt at a pitmaster flip led to a kitchen chaos moment

I saw a famous pitmaster do a quick flip on the grill (you know, the one with the fancy mustache), so I gave it a shot with my ribs. Next thing I know, grease flared up and filled my kitchen with smoke. My dog started barking, and I had to wave a towel at the alarm. Now I'm wondering if that move is worth the risk for home cooks like me.

Worth the risk?" Grease flare-ups happen anyway.

Start by seeing how a small grease flare can jump to curtains or cabinets in seconds. I remember a fire safety video showing a pan fire reaching the ceiling in under 30 seconds. Sure, they happen, but that's why using a lid or baking soda nearby is a no-brainer. Ignoring it is like playing with matches in a paper factory.
