I really think this is legit.

If you live in an apartment you shouldn't be smoking on a balcony like that. Wow.

Hope you, your wife and kid are ok.

How exactly is using a smoker on the patio going to blow out the roof inside the house?

Thought the same thing. Looks like it's straight out of the box.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I haven't been trying to get details on how it happened, just trying to make sure there's nothing he needs right now.

He's working on moving stuff out now. Says he didn't lose anything, and no one was hurt. The fire didn't spread to any other apartments.

[GloucesterChief]

If it is a covered balcony, it might of caught the roof on fire.

[SAUTO]

That's what I said!

About the only thing that could have happened was he caught the outside of the exterior wall on fire and the fire department had to tear out the drywall and ceiling to make sure the fire wasn't inside the walls/ceiling.

Sucks, probably sucks worse for his poor neighbors

Only explanation would be fire dept. But I don't see water. Or smoke damage. Or scorch marks.

[Coochie liquor]

Looks like something outside caught fire, and the water used to put it out messed up the interior of the home.

[srvy]

That insulation backing is burnt. Total guess on my part but possibly the deck floor caught fire and traveled on to the outside wall then burned through exterior to interior and up in to interior ceiling. The insulation looks wet and the fire department concentrated there so not to allow to spread to other units. With this required cutting roof from outside and also ceiling inside. Of course this is just total speculation on my part.

[lewdog]

If he did cause this, I guarantee his apartment/condo building had a violation about smoking or BBQ'ing anything on a patio that small.

He's gonna have a hard time fighting that one.

[srvy]

How it happens is charcoal bbqing on a wood deck. Lots of fires are started this way and many apartments do not allow anymore not sure about townhomes.

I had a grill on a wood deck smaller than that, and my landlord OK'd it. Even added it into my lease.

[lewdog]

And that's definitely his place. He's posted beer and TV pics before and it's the same TV and couch. My memory is good.

In a Condo/Apartment?

A propane grill usually is ok.

Charcoal or other means, usually not.

If it's a large complex, it's always in their lease that you can't have open fire/charcoal BBQ's because of safety and liability.

Charcoal and gas for me. This was also close to 20 years ago, so there's that, too.

[srvy]

The WSM isnt damaged leaves me to wonder if it was the starter chimney. I guess I will stop speculating and let Inmem explain it to us when he is ready. Must have been a scary thing but thank his lucky stars no one was hurt.

[WhawhaWhat]

I may be going out on a limb here but I think he did it wrong.

Sucks. I used to put a tray of wet sand under my smoker when using a charcoal/wood smoker on a wooden deck.

I had a $30 elcheapo bullet smoker for a while. Coals could fall out the air vent holes. The pan of wet sand went under the whole smoker.

Did you read my other posts? I have never used a smoker. The only ones I have ever seen had the lava rocks in the bottom that got heated by gas or that electric thing that looks like a small element that would be in a stove and had the pan of water above that.
I have grilled several times.

Pork butt was smoking away. Neighbors (being in a California duplex) thought that the place was on fire. Fire department arrives, sprays down the apartment ruining all the things.

And worst of all, the smoker dropped below 200.

Sorry, I don't think it's funny. It's not being "self serious." A Chiefsplanet member had a significant fire at his home. He can't live there anymore.

When I use my chimney starter I set a cookie on the ledge of the patio when a second round pizza cookie sheet on top of that one. This creates a gap between the cookie sheets. I set my chimney starter on top and light my coals. I did this numerous of times, with no issues.

I dumped the coals into my smoker around 9:30 and checked periodically on the temp. Apparently the cookie sheets got extremely hot and caught the side on fire. Like I said, I did this several times. I fucked up and should have removed the sheets back into the apartment.

[In58men]

[Abba-Dabba]

Get everything wet you can out of there. If you don't, expect mold to grow rapidly. If you have a dehumidifier handy, use it 24/7 at least for a week. The smell from smoke will take some time to go away. Simple Febreeze works best.

Most important thing though is getting anything wet out. Mold sets in, total refurbishment will need to be done. You might be paying for a remodel anyway.

I think it's an apartment which means he's renting and like most tenants walking away and leaving the landlord with a big ,sorry see ya later while the landlord has to pay the deductible , the depreciation and deal with the loss of rent for the next several months. Of course he's already admitted in this thread he is at fault so he may have some liability issues.

And if that complex didn't have a no BBQ policy before this, it surely does now.

He definitely has some liability. Is it worth it to take him to court to receive judgement? Either way, I'm betting he is looking for a new landlord soon.

Yes, hence the reason I said if he were some beloved member of this board, people would be reacting differently.

I'm not here to white knight for Inmem. I just think it's classless. I'd be saying the same thing if it was you in his position.

It's one thing to make jokes when it's a news story and no one knows the people involved. It's another thing entirely, IMO, when it's a member of our little community here.

We disagree. That's fine. I dropped it.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I think you're correct. How I read it, too.

[jspchief]

I had a spare coal stick in the bottom of my chimney starter once, then drop onto the deck once it burned down small enough to fit through the grate on the bottom. Found a baseball size hole in my deck the next morning. Lucky it wasn't worse I guess.

[GloryDayz]

If I'm reading him correctly, he didn't start his coals/have burning coals in the chimney when the fire started - he had dumped the coals and then put the hot chimney on those cookie sheets.

Good point.. Ugh... And yeah, I'm not sure I wouldn't think that setup wouldn't be fine. Hell, I guess I'm lucky, even when not near a concrete driveway/tailgate asphalt, I've set my dumped-coals started in the decorative rocks around the house.

I'm still stunned that cool-down setup didn't work.

[KCUnited]

I use a BGE on a wood deck at my condo. I cleared it with the HOA before I bought the place. That said, I never use a chimney out there, just those lighter squares. Takes longer to heat up, but the piece of mind is worth it.

[cdcox]

According to post 86 he had coals in the chimney on top of the cookie sheet resting on the deck.i think the coals brought the wood up to the ignition point but the fire just didn't become visible until after he dumped the coals into the smoker.

Coals in the chimney get incredibly hot. One time my chimney blew a chunk of concrete out of my driveway.

Correct, I dumped the coals and placed the starter back on the cookie sheets. Fire happened 2 hours after that.

Sounds like he started the chimney on the cookie sheets, then dumped the coals and set the empty chimney back on the cookie sheets.

Inmem did you find new digs yet or hotel I cant imagine in Cali finding a new place is a quick and easy process. Regardless think your lucky stars that the fire wasn't slower to develop and erupt in the night while everyone was sleeping. In all I think your a good dude and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. As for the ribbing I have always thought you had a pretty good sense of humor and if tables turned you would fire off a round too. I will be praying for you and your family to get a sense of home again soon and lives back to normal.

Oh and if your living in a van down by the river please please keep the Weber a minimum of 50 feet from the fuel tank!

As for all the nay saying on a little humor really it sometimes helps take mind off the reality for a while. As they say laughter is the best medicin. My Chief of surveys for 25 years a very very respected man in the business and more so with the crews died in a horrible accident on 10 highway near Richmond Mo. He they think had a massive heart attack and plowed into a 30 in diameter tree his truck burst in flames and you know what happens then. The monday back at work at the office the second in charge knew it would be a tough day for us and okayed we drive up and see the site where he died. We arrived seen the burnt grass and shattered and melted plastic parts from the truck the tree had already been removed by the DOT. We stood there stunned then erected a cross at the spot of survey stakes and flagging a fitting tribute to a man who lived and breathed surveying during life. We stood there not saying a word till one of the guys said "Well John always liked to smoke." That broke the ice and we talked and told stories we remembered about the man eventually peeled wheels and went back to work. The laughter broke the ice and was just what the doctor ordered.

Amazing how safe this is when you start the chimney inside the grill/smoker.

Then again, as fucking hot as it is, I probably could have just dumped coals directly from the bag to the grill and they might have spontaneously combusted.

I grilled a steak today and thought I might join the club. I flipped it over and it apparently had a bunch of juice pooled up on it. Suddenly a big fireball was headed toward my midsection. I leapt backward and fortunately didn't catch my t-shirt on fire or anything, but I've probably cooked 10,000 steaks in my life and never saw a fireball go out instead of up before. (I was a cook at a steakhouse in college, so I really have probably cooked 10,000+ steaks.)

But this is fucking CP.

When we argue, cuss, and fight.

To answer a previous question, the complex would be well within their rights to keep your security deposit, if their fire insurance deductible is higher than your deposit.

If your deposit is more than their deductible, you should get the difference back if they are covered for loss of rents.

However if your complex is small, and you know the owner or something they might take pity on you.

You really shouldn't be smoking on a deck patio at all, particularly a wood one. Sorry this happened man, but geez, I can't believe you did that.

My brother-in-law recently melted the vinyl siding on his house because his grill was too close. He was pretty lucky to not have started a fire. It's also why having fire extinguisher around is a good idea.

[bobbymitch]

Glad to hear that you made it out okay, along with most of your stuff.

Sorry, but I'm out of anything witty to say.

Locally, we had a fire chief lose his house to a very strange fire a couple of years ago. He put out his last cigarette for the night and emptied the ashtray into a metal coffee can. A windy night blew the can over. His still half-lit cigarette had ignited some of the other butts and when the wind knocked the can over, some got caught between his wooden upper deck boards. They ignited the deck and eventually, the flame burned through the hose on the grill's propane tank. The resultant blow torch then caught the wood siding on fire and quickly spread to the end of the house. It took a little time, but eventually, the flames and smoke made it to the interior, which set off the smoke alarms.

[cdcox]

I have been thinking about Inmen58's fire. I have melted aluminum (melts at 1221 F) cans in many a camp fire. I have no question that even through two metal cookie sheets, a chimney full of coals could bring the surface of the wood up to 500 F which is hot enough for it to ignite. The pan in contact with the wood is pretty flat and would make good contact with the wood; it is also an excellent conductor of heat. I'm sure every one who has watched a campfire has seen a piece of wood not in the flames get very hot until it burst in to flames without ever coming in contact with flames from the main fire. Same thing could happen here.

The part I am struggling with is the supposed gap it time between when the coals were removed and the fire started. It would seem that 2 hour is enough time for the heat to dissipate. I'm wondering if the wood actually started burning when the coals were in the chimney, but the flat bottom pan prevented much oxygen from reaching it. The oxygen starved fire just kind of turned the wood under the pan to charcoal, generating enough heat to keep the fire going at a low level. It finally burnt to the point to open an oxygen pathway at which point it burnt into flames? Just hypothesis forming at this junction. Really interesting.

[cdcox]

Also, if the pan were in contact with a nail you could easily generate much hotter temperatures in the wood around the nail. Could start a very small oxygen starved fire around the nail that may take along time to burst into flames. Again, just a hypothesis.
