Incident: We grilled hamburgers, and when they were finished, we closed the lid to let the grease burn off while we took the burgers inside. When we came back out, a flame was coming out of the far left knob, near the gas hose. We shut the gas off at the tank and the flame went out, but not before the knob melted.
