James Martin, the beloved TV chef known for his stint on BBC's Saturday Kitchen, has shared a rather explosive anecdote about a barbecue gone wrong that sent chops soaring "about 20-30 feet in the air".
The culinary star of ITV's Saturday Morning, James also admitted to a fiery fiasco at his own abode, involving an accidental house blaze sparked by a barbecue mishap. Chatting on the Grilling podcast with fellow foodie and celebrity chef Simon Rimmer in 2021, James dished out his hair-raising tale when asked if he'd ever had any barbecue disasters. Recounting the fiery incident at his residence, the ex-BBC host explained it was all down to a pizza oven roof that should have been metal but was mistakenly made of wood.
He humorously noted that his dad's barbecue calamity topped them all, though. James divulged: "I set my side of my house on fire.
That was a good one because... I mean, I love builders and particularly...
a certain group of Irish builders, who are fantastic, that decided to build an Italian pizza oven roof." "Instead of having metal, (they) built it out of wood, which is quite handy. And I think the best one of all was my dad... we're DIY people.
My dad was hopeless at DIY." He continued with a chuckle: "He built himself a barbecue back home at the house, on the farmhouse, and it was basically four like concrete blocks on one side, four concrete blocks on the other one... and we had some York stone." James shared a rather explosive anecdote about the time when a "massive" stone required eight people to move it, leading to a barbecue disaster at his home. He reminisced: "Next minute, there was an almighty bang.
