Hah! I’d lit the chimney starter then been charged with showering the toddler (which involves getting fully immersed oneself). Emerged to find it blaring a stream of sparks 3 ft into the air and alarmingly all over a very dry bush right next to the tent. I panicked and rushed out in just a towel to tip it out and... fucking OUCH
In less morbid but also painful news, was chuffed to find safari tent/apartment thing (I refuse to say “glamping”) i’m in here on the Tuscan coast has a proper Weber kettle barbecue and starter chimney. Did some great steaks, asparagus and courgette last night.
Have to say I regret tipping the flaming coals into the grill whilst wearing nothing but a towel. A handful of cinders fell through the bottom of the starter and bounced off the decking round my feet. I leapt back... and trod on a hot coal. Ffffffff.....
