'I honestly prefer ketchup' ping.

[ErnBatavia]

an accident due to improvising heat or an accident from using a grill indoors.

This is a fairly common cause of death of Hispanics in Southern California (improvised, cheap heating). I'm sure it's not much different up in Starbucks country.

[Ramius]

Well... I'm not sure I see the problem here... hot tub, naked people, alcohol...

What were we talking about?

:-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Except it's not cold out. Especially last week.

[Slings and Arrows]

Lousy article. Doesn't even say whether it was tomato- or vinegar-based barbecue.

For some reason, this story reminded me of this movie

You fergot the sauce!

[js1138]

I can't comment until I know if it was gas or charcoal, and if charcoal, whether hardwood or briquettes.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Propane grill??? Blasphemer! Infidel! Heathen! Fafir! Philistine! Lowbrow! Cretin!

Repeat after me.... Fruit or nut hardwood lump charcoal is good... propane is bad, very very bad.

I'm a fundamentalist; they would have to pry my cold dead fingers off the Kingsford bag :)

[Sender]

Yeah, could've even been mustard for all we know. We demand evidentiary release of the sauce!

[VadeRetro]

Story's a little vague. Sounds like something to do with carbon monoxide, but really needs a few details filled in.

Couples on the barbie?

[RMDupree]

*shakes head*

And I thought HOTD worried me...

"Fruit or nut hardwood lump charcoal is good... "

While better that propane, in mesquite country, we'd still have to get a crew of roughnecks to take you out back and beat you.

[Delmont]

My guess would be with our weather lately, it was just a
indoor wiener roast.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

All Mesquite is fine by me for grilling, but for a good BBQ (Pork/Beef), Red or White Oak Lump, with a mix of 50% Shag Bark Hickory, 25% Apple, and 25% Wild Cherry wood is my preference.

Even when BBQ'n Mutton or Venison and I want really strong smoke flavor, a bit of Black Walnut yields a cleaner (less creosote taste) smoke than Mesquite, with even more intense smoke flavor.

[MeanWestTexan]

Oh, I know.

This is just mesquite country, and the best BBQ is often not even charcoal grilled, per se, but the result of clearing and buring mesquite out of the field and cooking over the dying embers of the fire created in the process whilst drinking that cold beer one has been contemplating since sunrise.

Occassionally, we kill varmits of some kind (rabits, occasional chinese deer (no season) whatever), bury them under said bonfires in tinfoil with potatoes etc., and eat them, as well. Hard to beat.
