Lightning a BBQ with Liquid Oxygen at Purdue

Description:
In 1995 George Goble experimented at Purdue university trying to find the fastest way to light a BBQ.
This video shows the fastest way, pouring 3 gallons of liquid oxygen over a grill with 60 pounds of coal and a lighted cigarette.
In the second part of the video this method is used on a 2.88$ discount grill. Most of it vaporizes(!) in the process.
