My 14.5 WSM Tried to Kill My Family

Was hoping a firefighting pro would jump in to this. Anyway, I do a lot of woodworking and create friction in cloths via rubbing action. I have experience with cloths smoking hours after use. I put them outside in a far removed metal container when done.

These safety-related posts are just as beneficial as the many grilling and recipe guidance we receive from this Club; thanks for sharing.

Oh yeah, safety related memos on the Pit. Hot firefighters, hot rubbing cloths not in the garage, offering Q at the firehouse, gimme a break!

Oh, and the title reminds me of a song titled "My guitar wants to kill your mama."

Frank Zappa sang that one. We can add music into safety related.

The key word to 'outdoor cooker' is 'outdoor'. My PK360 never comes indoors, but if it did it would have all coals removed. I heat the house with wood and have hot coals buried in the ash days after the fire went out. As Troutman learned the hard way, never put ashes into a dust bin. Living on a farm I have the luxury of dumping into a hole in the field. Were I a city dweller those ashes would be soaked in a metal bucket before bagging and putting out for garbage. Glad all worked out for the good and we have all been reminded.
