You drain your grease over an open flames? There’s your issue….

I typically drain grease/fat/oil over the garbage can…..

You are overreacting. Highly flamable stuff is things like ether, propanol, hydrogen. Even gasoline doesn't ignite when you throw a sigarette butt at it. Grease soaked coffee filters are way down the line.

Gasoline will unless its cold and can't vaporize. What people fail to understand is that liquid gasoline doesn't burn very well. It's the vapours of gas or when it's aerosolized that it explodes.

You can shove your lit cigarettes in diesel/oil all day though.

Assuming there is an open flame is suspect.

Paper towels are already flammable, even more so when soaked with grease.

Grease is flammable and it's subsequent fires burn houses down all the time without any help from paper products

Assuming there is even an open flame. Gas appliances are not popular where I live everything is electric.
