Injured by a charcoal chimney

[DavidNorcross]

Man that is rough. Hope you recover soon.

[WI Bubba]

Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that crap like that happens to. I hope you feel better soon too.

[LA Pork Butt]

Wow! I was almost sure you tripped one it. I guess you will be lowering your storage place.

Bad day, park that thing on the ground. The story sounds like some of my luck.

[realdocBBQ]

Man I'm sorry to hear (and see) this! Glad you're gonna be ok, buddy. Sheesh. I'm with randy.56, I don't ever put those things up high, now I'll be even more careful to not do so. Ouch!

[HawkerXP]

Ouch!

[Alan Brice]

Def cringe worthy! All great advice here. Thanks for the(No pun intended). Heal quickly and completely.

[OC Sandy]

Ouch! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Beware of the "Attack Chimneys" !

[TripleB]

Ouch!!! I hope you got a tetanus shot too.

I banged my noggin on the corner of a shelf the other day. Little gash, no trip to urgent care or staples, but got sympathy from the family

[radiodome21]

Yikes. Glad it wasn’t worse. I keep mine in my lower outdoor cabinet. If you decide to go the blowtorch option I would also exercise caution, the infamous Wet Bandits found out the hard way….

[Spinaker]

Haahaha, that is what I was thinking!

[Spinaker]

Oh man, that sucks. I hope it heals up quick.

I think we all have some battle scars from BBQ. I actually have a few burn scars on my arms from my torch. I will let it rip in the charcoal, then put it in the pocket in my apron and forget that the tip is super hot! I have learned that lesson a few times!

[STEbbq]

Ouch! I bet that was scary as head injuries tend to bleed a lot even if not serious.

[smokenoob]

If I did this, it would be need to know information only in the family because if I told them I might come home one day and find my charcoal grill gone and a new electric Sizzle in its place 😳😁

I just walked over to my BBQ shelf unit and gave it a little shake on one of the side poles. Yep, I probably should move some of that heavy stuff on the top shelf to the bottom shelf. As you found out, 9.8 m/s/s can be unkind.

My worst BBQ injury (so far!) is back when I started. I thought welding gloves were impenetrable and I picked up a grate that had been over direct heat for awhile. At first I felt nothing. Then I felt the worst burning pain ever. In my case, gravity was a good thing and I could let go of the grate!
