    One of the cooktop burners accidentally got turned on with a plastic cutting board sitting on the cooktop.  I was lucky to notice it just as the first whisps of smoke were starting.  Another minute or two and it would have been a real shitt-show.


    Wow.....you did get lucky!  I bet that smelled GREAT hahaha.  Lucky catch!  A few years back here at Lake Powell, one of the massive Houseboats that is a time-share burned completely, and sunk.  There are 20 owners, so you never quite know what the previous guy was up to when you arrive for your week.  Well......when the current guy showed up, he started flipping switches, and an upstairs firepit switch was flipped, and there was a cover over the top of it.  It promptly started a fire, and spread quickly.  Poor design in the switch placement.  Anyways, it was in the slips, and they unhooked it and shoved it away from the docks. It could have setoff a chain reaction of fires!

    Could've been a disaster! Good catch. Anything melted onto the cooktop?

    The cooktop cleaned up fine with a razor blade.  The only lasting damage is a nasty second-degree burn on my hand from a glob of molten plastic.  Not gonna share that photo!   :D

    Edit:  At least I caught it so it didn't damage the flooring!   Skin will grow back ...

    Oh my! Fire on a boat scares the crap out of me. But that's why it's called an accident- thank goodness you caught it.
