I lit up a barbeque grill in the patio.
Now, when the manufacture say "used in a will vented area", they really mean well vented. I though the patio was well vented, apparently not enough. There was way too much smoke. What is worse, the wind keeps blowing the smoke back into the patio. On top of that, the smoke would not rise, but rather stay low close to the ground. 
First the charcoal was producing too much smoke. I figure the charcoals were probable not hot enough. So I carefully added more butane lighter fluid. Apparently a little too much, since the barbeque grill was a bow of fire. Finally the fire dies down and the charcoals started smoke less.
Then I place a cooking sheet over the grill. I place a dress shoe on the cooking sheet. She is a 1 inch low heel mule. Will, the bottom outer sole melted well, forming into a puddle of plastic cookie. Problem is, the shoe was giving off way too much smoke. And it smells like an electrical fire. Electrical fire smell like burnt shrimp head.
So I figure maybe the shoe is not hot enough. Maybe I needed to place her in direct fire. How stupid of me!
Will, I remove the cooking sheet and place the shoe on top of the hot coals. Will the shoe started to melt and quickly caught fire. This process also produce lots and lots of smoke. Way too much smoke. So much smoke that my eyes and lungs started to hurt.
Fortunately, the smoke were mostly white smoke. I ran into the house, catch a breath of fresh air, then ran out and slam the lid of the barbeque grill closed and shut the vents. I figure this would smother out the fire. All it did was started to produce gray smoke now. And even more smoke. 
I roll out a sheet of foil. It was a good thing I use foils. It made clan up a lot cleaner.
So I held my breath. Open the lid of the barbeque grill. The barbeque grill fire flare right up again with a huge puff of gray smoke. With some thongs, I grab the shoe, place her on the foil sheet, and roll up the sheet to put out the shoe on fire out. Then I close the barbeque grill lid again. I then went back into the house. After about 2 hours, the fire in the barbeque grill stops smoking and went out.
I smell like barbeque and electrical fire. Strangely, my urine also smell like electrical fire. Maybe I must of absorb some of the smoke through my skin.
The burnt shoe became some sort of hard, crystallize carbon. Strange. Maybe if I put some pressure and more heat, I might get a diamond shoe.
Anyway, many of you burn shoes. What are you doing right that I'm doing wrong. Help please. I have over a 100 pair of shoes that I want to make more free melting shoe video for you people.
