Folks, it's Independence Day. If you don't do something to declare at least some independence from oppressive government, Federal, State, or local, you're not doing it right.
The religion of Orthodox Viking assures us that everything is OK as long as it's done to excess. If a little is good, and more is better, than too much is about right. Before taking on the challenge of lofting a BBQ grill over the house, please do the preliminary math first, and add 20% margin to all calculations to compensate for inferior fireworks made by non-union labor in an Asian sweat shop.Fun is like explosives: More is always better.

Surely you're aware of Goerge Goble's technique?
Evidently what Mr. Crankshaft tried involved soaking one of the briquettes in liquid oxygen, resulting in an "earth-shattering ka-boom" and the deposition of his grill and several lit briquettes to the top of his house.
Like I said, do the math first. 2 briquettes would have put the whole thing safely out into the street in front of the house.
Second note: The police never get there that fast. Clear thinking would have the hose running before lighting the fuse so that the fire would be out and denyability up to a plausible level by the time the gendarmes show up.
Careful planning will insure a successful conclusion.
