So that’s how you and your wife met? I didn’t know she was an officer of the law.

In college, I got to do work-study at the Blue Ridge Institute and Farm Museum (look ‘em up! They’re a great crew.) When the farm museum (1800′s German Baptist farmstead) was open in summer, three lucky work-studies got to be in costume and ~~cosplay~~ act in character for homesteaders back then.
Very often I would use my hands instead of the tools when cooking over the open fire or in the Dutch Oven. After a while, you got to feel what temperature was reached. That turned out to be super, as I live in an apt. with a gas stove with no temperature gauge. I stick my hand in the oven, and can tell if it’s quiche-baking, cookie-baking, bread-baking, or meat-baking temperature, depending on how quick I have to yank it out again.
And yes, if I am too lazy to get the spatula or fork, I use my hands to flip stuff in the fryin’ pan. I should quit that habit, at least when my 4-year old is looking…

Notice (about 1:00) what happens if you try it with a cheap grill. . . .

Last I checked, Goble had to move it, but it can still be found, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjPxDOEdsX8

I think Paul just likes an excuse to use the Fireball Filter on Photoshop . . .

The only kind of grilling is with all natural charcole briquets and LOX.

That’s fine as long as the explosion doesn’t sever the hose from the propane tank to the control panel. Some friends of mine were grilling when the propane hose broke at a coupling and turned into a flame-thrower. They had to find somewhere else to live for 6 months while the damage to their house was repaired.

Sir, I completely agree.
As a sidenote: indoor grilling is not recommended
