Funny story:

About 15 years ago, I was reading in bed. The windows were open. It's about
1:00 AM and I smelled smoke, but couldn't identify what kind (something I'm
usually good at). I stepped outside and was unable to see the houses on
either side of mine because of the smoke. Called the fire department, and
then started running around looking for flames. The fire department found
the source before I did. On the next street over behind my house and over a
couple of houses, they found a grill containing 3 whole chickens, the whole
thing up in flames from the dripping fat. Adjacent to the grill was its
owner, passed out in his lounger with a bunch of empty beer bottles on the
ground.

Chicken ceases to smell like chicken when it reaches a certain stage of
blackness. :-)
