LarrBeard, we had a similar instance when I worked for the county. Our Squad car mechanic brought in an old gas grill to refurbish for our weekly game feed, to move away from everything being trudged out of a crock pot. He spent a week patching and I made him a set of grill grates in the fab shop. That was all well and fine, but the first time we fired it up and he whipped up a bunch of elk burgers. Now most in the shop liked their meats done on the barely dead where I liked the life grilled out to a slight pink. By the end of the shift, everyone was hurting pretty bad. Long story short, when I made the grates, and handed them off to the squad car guy, he coated them not with cooking oil to season, but 10W30. It made for a bad Friday.
