Just out of curiosity I was doing some news related searches involving barbeque and came across some gems that I thought would share with everyone. Think of this as a warning to those who thought backyard barbequeing was innocent and safe. You’ve been warned.
Ashes from company barbecue started Portland fire. Fairly innocent. So a few ashes left the smoker and caught a building in downtown P-Town (my old hometown) on fire. It could happen to anybody.
A tragic story about two men who died after they moved a portable charcoal grill into their cabin to keep warm. Carbon monoxide is delicious but serious stuff people.
Uh oh, now were getting somewhere, Springfield Barbeque Turns Violent.
16 poisoned by basement barbecue. Not because of undercooked meat like the FDA has us scared to bejeezus about, but again for carbon monoxide poisoning. Here is a tip, if someone invites you to a barbeque in a basement - pass.
How about this awesome grandpa?! “A sick thief stole from his six-year-old granddaughter’s funeral fund after she died in a tragic barbecue accident.” Thanks Gramps!
And lastly Barbecue Turns into Deadly Argument, Knife Fight. The story mentions that no one left the scene after the murder. Amazing.
With that, have a great weekend.
