Had put a load of hickory in at lunch today and got home late tonight and went to push the coals forward to burn them down before the overnight load. I always get a lot sparking with hickory but tonight was an amazing display with sparks shooting out like crazy. I quickly shut the door and made sure I got all of the burning material off of me and a few seconds later, started smelling smoke. Checked myself again to make sure my clothes weren't burning but the smell was quickly getting stronger.
I turned around and the wastebasket behind me (4 feet from the stove and completely blocked by my body), which had the paper towels that I had used to clean my glass a couple days ago, had started burning! Made a quick dash outside, dumped the paper towels out and started stomping. I definitely won't be putting the wastebasket there again!!
