Just finished smoking a few racks of ribs in the Brinkman.
Made sure the charcoal was almost gone and came back into the house. The water pan was half full. Nothing I haven't done many times before.
I noticed smoke coming from the bottom of it, and didn't think anything of it. It's a smoker what did I want?
Came back into the dining room didn't even look at the patio. My son walks in " Uhhhh Mom! points.. SMOKER!!!" Well awww crayaaap that thing was on fire!
Flames were coming out of the bottom through the side door and just getting to the top. We both ran back in got every extinguisher in the house. Turned on the hoses soaked the patio and lawn area. Slowly put that fire out.
Every things fine. Kind of dizzy breathing in that extinguisher fumes and smoke. Maybe it was the adrenalin. Brand new Brinkman is melted. The paints bubbled and will chip off. But geez that's the last of my worries right now. I'm particular about my house. It's not so easy to replace because I just got stupid and caught! I got some splainin' to do when hubby gets home
