If Copper has been burned by the grill and is wounded, it would be best to bring him to a vet ASAP to have the wound cleaned, treated as needed, and any pain medications or antibiotics started. If Copper ate the grease, it is possible it could cause some GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea for a few days. If he cannot keep anything down, has bloody stool or vomit, or becomes very painful or has a tender abdomen, this can be caused by an issue such as pancreatitis from eating too fatty of foods (such as grease) and should be treated by a vet in person ASAP.
