Mind you, when the corner of the griddle melts and breaks off due to a casting flaw, and the whole half pound and its grease drops into the campfire, the resulting bacon is inedible even by hungry Boy Scouts.

Wrong!  You just cut off the really dirty bits and chow down.  Please report to the gulag for reeducation.  ;)

  

Boy Scouts who can't improvise a griddle handle and clean soot off of bacon should go hungry. Those are basic scouting skills.

It is difficult to improvise a griddle handle during that 1.5 seconds when the griddle is supprted by improvised piles of scavenged bricks but the metal itself is failing under the heat of your fire due to flaws in the brand-new aluminum griddle. 12 to 15 years later the situation was paralleled in the loss of HMS Sheffield to the Argie Exocet hit, where the crew's firefighting/damage control efforts were succeeding until the aluminum bulkheads themselves started melting and the fire could not be contained.

 

And, dumping 3/8 lb of hot bacon grease and 1/8 lb of partially cooked bacon into that same aluminum-melting fire ... I'd say we proved our mettle by ensuring the resulting nova blast did not escape our fire pit. Northen Germany ca. 1969 being deficient in seismometers, there is no geophysical record of the event.
