Dang big words I had to lookup! lol I knew what you meant but have never heard that word before. haWell would you look at that. I just ordered a pair on Amazon for $25. These are made for incipient stage fires, so I would still have a backup extinguisher that could handle something larger.

Yea I think those could handle a grill grease fire if you catch it before it gets to an inferno. lol
One of those words you might be able to pull out 2 or 3 times per decade.Lol! Every now and then, some of those fancy words I learned in the academy in the late 80s come in handy. [emoji]128512[/emoji]

Definitely a wealth of knowledge and wisdom on here.

Ah I didn't think of Fire Academy. I went to fire school in the Navy. You get a fire on a submarine it better get put out quick!Fire academy. I spent 30 years riding fire engines and ambulances.
But not too close. Extinguishers should be located along an escape route and away from the potential fuel source. If there was an extinguisher near the fires pictured, I doubt anyone would hang around to use it. If it were 15-20 ft. or more away, you stand a better chance of getting yourself safely away from the fire while being able to fight it if it is safe to do so..
"---1) Do keep a charged fire extinguisher near your cooking equipment----"
There are different fire extinguisher types for different kinds of fire.

One of my first smokes I lit my chimney on my patio. It's cement, so no lasting damage but it sure discolored the paint and caused some serious blistering. Easy to chip away and re-paint, but good lesson. Now if I need to light on the patio (due to rain) I put a brick paver on top of the patio to use.I would be curious what the percentage is of folks that BBQ, smoke or otherwise cook on their deck- wood, composite, or otherwise combustible material. How many will admit to burn marks from embers on their decks or anything else around?
