WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS.  Countless of our brethren have been seriously injured, burned and even killed while attempting this trick. Hibachi Garage assumes no liability for anyone failing to complete this successfully nor do we take credit for anyone who does.  While this trick hovers around a 2 on difficulty, it is a full blown 10 on danger!  You've been warned and assume all risk of injury or death if you continue reading.

 Ingredient List:

• 1 large onion
• 1 bottle water
• 4T 80 proof (or higher) liquor
• Lighter

Instructions:  

1. Prepare a hot griddle using the middle burner only.  
2. Meanwhile cut onion into 4 sections.  You will be using either of the middle 2 sections.  
3. On the cooler part of grill, stack onion slices on top of each other using a spatula and fork.  Be careful to have a "seal" between each layer... you do not want voids, gaps or openings.  The effectiveness of the seal will be dependant upon the quality of the slices you made in step 2.  
4. Seriously, do not read any further.
5. Carefully move the volcano to the hot part of the grill and add 4T liquor.
6. Light the volcano at once.  4T of liquor should burn for ~15 seconds.  
7. Pro Tip: For a steam finish, add water to the liquor before lighting.  When the liquor burns off, your volcano will go from flame to steam!
