Last night I cooked a lot of chicken on the grill. I always put bacon on the side to cook while the main food is cooking. Well, last night, my fire (charcoal) started cooling off before the bacon was cooked. So when I took the chicken off, I put the 5 pieces of bacon over the few remaining coals, closed the lid and went inside.
Well, I forgot about the bacon. This morning I remembered it, and went to get it. All but 1 piece was missing.
There are holes in the bottom the grill. But very small. Smaller than a coke can. The grate it is diamond cut with even smaller holes. So the only thing that could get in there would be a mouse. But I have a cat in the garage at night. And have not seen any signs of a mouse in months. And it's been pretty cold up until the last few weeks.

This is quite the mystery. Especially since the lid is pretty heavy.

Do you believe in ghosts? Or better yet, do ghosts get hungry. If so, I was nice of them to leave me at least one piece.

It wasn't me as it had to be Prime Rib for me to bother sneaking in for it. Currently BBQing one the neighbor's pesky kids.

If you BBQ with charcoal, I'm telling ya, throw some bacon on that grill just out of reach from the coals. You'll thank me later.
