Deep-fat turkey fryers tipping over and catching the entire deck on fire (heard an announcement on AFN a few years back that certain makes of deep-fat fryers were prone to tipping over and igniting)
Tipping or doing a vapor-expansion trick when a half-frozen bird is submerged. It’s so bad around here that some smart volunteer fire departments let people have an expert deepfry at the firehouse driveway. They get the donation. and save the gas driving to the fires.
