Ain’t no party like a bathtub brisket party. At least, apparently, in Tennessee.
The Knoxville Fire Department recently responded to a woman who’d tried to barbeque brisket over an open fire in her fiberglass bathtub, thus melting the tub and almost burning her apartment complex down in the process.
Local Knoxville news WVLT reported that they found the woman fanning smoke from her apartment. No one was hurt, but it’s unclear whether the brisket survived the ordeal. And if it did, just how far past well done it was.
Meanwhile, it seems possible that this apartment complex is running a black market smoked meats ring, as the bathtub pitmaster’s fourth floor neighbor also once tried to use a charcoal grill in the living room.
