Barbequed Bacon = life's lessons.

Many years ago I spent a night with friends in Capitol Reef campground.  The next morning found us hungry and ready for breakfast, unfortunately we had run out of fuel for the camp stove.  The firepit in our campground had a griddle with it, so we decided to cook breakfast over the fire.  Bacon was definitely the order of the day.  To this day I have never had bacon taste so good, cooked over a fire on a griddle, this was lesson number one of this adventure.  So I thought why not try this at home on my bbq. So I put some tin foil over the grill and fired it up.  I put several strips of bacon on, every was looking really good.  I didn't calculate one thing, though, grease fire.  Yes, the grease off the bacon caught fire in the bottom of the bbq.  Ok, no major worries, I'll just shut off the gas and it will slowly burn down, but still cook the bacon in the meantime.  Ahh, no..   Then the fire decided to migrate up to the top of the tin foil.  Yeah, that was it, I started pulling the bacon off the grill and even saved several pieces before the fire on top got too high for my comfort of sticking my hands in the bbq.   I closed the bbq to help keep the fire down and waited a bit.   Five minutes later, I opened up the bbq again, it seems the grease had burned off, but there was no bacon left to save.  Here is the result of said bbq'd bacon, next time I do it in a more open situation.  Lesson two of the adventure.
