Beer IS a suitable fire extinguisher to carry in your vehicle or have in your kitchen!!!

IS IS IS!

What is in those class B extinguishers? Foam. It forms a blanket on top of burning oil and smothers it (where water would displace the oil and spread it around).

Take your beer, open the top just a tad (or narrow the opening with a finger), shake well, allow foam to spurt out onto the fire, create a foam mat. Wait for foaming to stop, drink slightly flat beer, belch, continue barbecue. Simple.
