I burp my Egg every single time I open it I want to have the muscle memory. My approach to this has been a bit more aggressive. Never allow children to handle or open the dome of a hot EGG! Never quickly open a hot EGG all the way.

EGGY BURPS CRACK

Whenever opening your EGG at high temperatures (over 400☏ / 204☌), it is essential to lift or slowly crack the dome only slightly a few times, allowing air to safely enter slowly, preventing any backdraft or flare-ups that may allow a flash of heat to escape or burn your hand.

USE CAUTION and Always Vent or Burp a hot EGG BEFORE opening fully.

There is an ample amount of heat, so a sudden infusion of oxygen allows that super-heated fuel, the smoke, to ignite! When cooking on the Egg, there is enough oxygen passing thru the Egg to support the combustion of the charcoal yet not enough to support the combustion of the smoke, which is a fuel source. Remove any one of those three things and you have no fire.

If you have a flame flare-up – quickly close the lid and the air vents to control the flame, and use extreme caution when re-opening your EGG. Use extra caution when opening a hot EGG with closed vents, as the sudden rush of air can cause a dangerous flare-up. “Once an EGG is lit, always carefully vent or ‘burp’ it before opening the dome fully by cracking it slowly a few times about an inch or two first – this allows the incoming air to enter slowly and helps avoid a flashback.
