Be careful!! This could happen to you

[TuscaloosaQ]

Last week while doing the cook for our guys at Shirley fab... Sharon was moving my beef ribs from the main chamber to the warmer.. The beef ribs were foiled... She reached up and the foil leaked hot liquid on her arm .. This is the result.... Lucky i had some burn cream with a numbing effect in it.... The moral of the story is..... Prolly should have had some good bbq gloves on.... Next time we will be prepared






It is a nasty burn for sure....

 

[SmittyJonz]

Ouch!

 

[landarc]

Youch! Sorry to see that happened. I never trust the wrapping, always keep the meat away from my body, and between, not above my arms. And I do wear BBQ gloves.

 

[FireChief]

Ouch indeed ! I'm not an expert but that looks pretty close to 2nd degree burn. Had one once, a bit more white and blistered but her skin is peeling. Speedy recovery and hopefully can keep the pain at bay.

 

[AlwaysSmokey]

Keep that burn cream handy, takes awhile to heal up that's for sure. Heck of a burn.

Hope she has a speedy recovery.

regards,

Kevin

Thanks for the safety reminder, and a speedy recovery to your lovely wife.

That hurts just looking at it! I hope that she is healing!

I've done that, too, and I've dripped hot juices on my feet a few times. You'd think that I would learn :tsk:

Hope she recovers soon Paul. If one thing cooking bbq (including time spent in the restaurant) has taught me is you will be burned at every second of the day in the kitchen or around the smoker. I'm pretty well programmed that I still touch everything gently that I see even sitting out on the stove or anywhere even if it has been there for over a day. I know it isn't probably hot, but I still do the unconscious gentle tap check. Foiling and the pans is where I got it more than a few times starting out. Some times a panned butt won't have a lot of liquid and other times it is full to the brim. Getting burnt feet sucks as much as anywhere.

Heck I still say "behind" and "knife" in the kitchen at my house when in there with my wife :crazy:.

Ouch....burns are 0 fun....hope she heals quickly

 

[campdude]

That looks like a bad one. Hope she heals fast. Find those gloves and use them.

Sorry to see her get a second degree burn. Hope you have Silvadene. How did the skillet feel up the backside of your head?:wink:

 

[daninnewjersey]

Wow.....wishing a speedy recovery for her, Paul....

 

[TuscaloosaQ]

Thx everyone... For the kind words.. And words of wisdom... I must confess it had been a hectic day.... I had been going back and forth to the sandblaster getting cookers... Trying to make runs in less than an hr so i could tend the fire.. Then on top of that rip our doberman had been hit by a car and had 2 bones in his leg broke... Had to get him from the vet.. I was in a hurry and should have slowed down... Sharon was trying to help.... I felt bad because she was just trying to take a little off of me... So know i have 2 wia's




Rip does not realize he is hurt.... He runs thru the yard with that leg up like it is not even there.. He will be 1 year old this month....

Hey Brethren, here is an emergency fix for burns. I was a US Navy Corpsman back in the 80's after being in the Marines. Whenever someone got burned in a galley or with things such as napalm or equivalent we would grab a sack of white flour and pour it on the burn. The powdered flour has a huge surface area that dissipates the heat and will, if applied quick enough - minimize pain and blisters. Just thought I'd pass this along.

Poor Sharon...Burns are nasty! Thanks for the heads up.

 

[TuscaloosaQ]

Sorry to see her get a second degree burn. Hope you have Silvadene. How did the skillet feel up the backside of your head?:wink:

I would still be swearing... I have never even heard Sharon say darn.... Glad there Was not a skillet handy!! This might have put her over the edge....

 

[silverfinger]

That looks like it hurts really bad.
Prayers sent for a speedy recovery for Sharon and Rip.

 

[Thingfish]

Not a fun burn to have for Christmas ... I hope the pain fades and the burn heals quickly!

 

[SmokinM]

Wow, that's awful. I hope she makes a speedy recovery.

 

[Fwismoker]

Yep bbq gloves/long sleeves are good protection unfortunately in nice weather the long sleeves rarely come into play. Hope her burn heals quickly.




BBQ can be a dangerous business, I still have a little of my branding scar from a few months ago.
