not on mine...I went to a fundraiser for the local Humane Society,
and there was some volunteers cooking hamburgers and hot dogs
on a big custom pit, so I of course immediately went up to take
a look.
Found out the pit belonged to a woman's husband, and they just
have it for fun, no catering or competeing. Well they've been
cooking burgers for a while, and the flames are licking up through
the grate while they're putting on more fresh meat.
Yep, within 2 minutes, it was out of control, flames curling up and over
the lid, which was propped open with a wooden stick. Smoke is going
everywhere, people are running up asking if they needed the fire
department, and those guys were standing there looking like deer in
the headlights.
So I stepped back there, grabbed a spatula and knocked the stick (which was now smoking) out, the lid comes down with a big whoomp, and
voila...no more fire. I poured water over the stick and told em
not to open it for a while, and let the grease burn off more slowly.
Amatures,...sheesh!

grill from the MWR Division on the base. The reason why I cringe when I mention this, is because the ones they have has a steel plate with holes drilled in it just above the burners. 
and was reminding myself why I hate that grill and how glad I was that it wasn't mine. I also vowed that I will never allow myself to use it again. Luckily, the lid can open from both sides and there was a gap at the top so the heat and pressure didn't build up to make it worse.
