A summer warning has been issued after a disposable barbecue destroyed an OAP's home - eight hours after he finished cooking pork chops.
Terry Archer, 77, from Essex, said his disposable barbecue, which cost around £2.50, was cooling off outside when it sparked a huge house fire during the scorching heatwave at the weekend.
He had cooked four pork chops on the BBQ for lunch before leaving it on bricks on an outdoor decking on Sunday, when temperatures neared 30C.
