From the "News of the Weird" department in the San Jose Mercury News:
"Knoxville, Tennessee, firefighters were called to a home in July when a woman tried to barbecue brisket in her bathroom -- and, in addition to losing control of the flame, melted her fiberglass bathtub. Firefighters limited the damage -- by turning on the shower."
Here's a link to a local news story:

My favorite quote comes from the Fire Captain:
"Now, this may sound tempting and tasty, but now comes our public service announcement; 'THIS IS NOT A SAFE PRACTICE,'"
Followed by this:
"Firefighters said this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Before this, someone on the fourth floor tried to use a charcoal grill in the living room to cook."
