Better than the alternative.

I do have one that I hope to never use. The alternative is really not that good.

Far less mess than a kitchen fire and the demo/construction to put it all back right!

There wasn't any real danger of burning down the kitchen. Just would have smoked the house up pretty bad. I was cooking the fat from some venison ribs. The stock pot was pretty full and some of the fat must have run over. There was quite a bit of it under the burner and it caught fire the next time I used the burner. As long as I left the pan on the burner the flames stayed down but it was smoking pretty bad and it would have taken a while to burn out.

Just make sure to keep a fresh fire alarm alarm installed.

Yes, one of those better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.

We have one just outside the kitchen door. During a hot fire, it'll be easier and safer to get at.

Nope, still sold and one of their uses can be kitchen fires. There is also a class "K" type of extinguisher specifically for kitchen fires.

After Dad (was about 80) left a burner on (Old firefighter simply put a lid on the pan when the smoke detector woke him up) I got a chemical type for the kitchen. CO² and I imagine Halon types can make things worse if not used correctly.

Can splatter flaming grease all over. Instinctively people spray up close at the base of the fire.

... That's what I was wondering.... We have a good size Kidde extinguisher near the kitchen. It's rated for type "A", "B", & "C" fires so I figure I'm pretty well covered. What's the deal on the Halons ? I think most extinguishers can make things worse if not used correctly...... Like not aiming at the base of the fire and not sweeping side to side. Would I be better off with a halon for household use?
