Butane explosion blasts door off fridge - and through wall October 28, 2010 - kval.com

COOS BAY, Ore. - A small spark from a freezer ignited butane gas that had built up inside a home as a result of someone extracting THC from marijuana Monday afternoon.
The explosion blew the door off the fridge and through a wall in the home, investigators said.
No one was injured, but the potential for severe injury existed had anyone been in the kitchen at the time, investigators said.
The explosion happened around 1 p.m. on Monday in the 63000 block of Jerome Road in Coos Bay, Ore.
Investigator determined one of the four people living at the home had been extracting THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, with a method that used butane gas.
Sheriff's deputies and the fire marshal said gas had built up in the home. When the freezer portion of the rerigerator/freezer turned on, a small spark ignited the accumulated butane gas.
The explosion did not cause a fire, but the door of the fridge blew off and went through a wall.
One person was home at the time of the explosion taking a nap on a couch. Investigators said that may have saved her life. Anyone standing in the main kitchen/living room area in the residence could have been severely injured, they said.
The investigation regarding the marijuana found at the residence as to whether any of the individuals living at the home were medical marijuana card holders is still ongoing and the case will be referred to the Coos County DA's Office for review.

So the butane was leaking inside the refrigerator? That's crazy how much it deformed that fridge!

That is pretty wild. That fool needs a better tech...
Bet his old lady poundin' that head flat about now!
There was a big BOOM! and fire on the mountain a couple years back. Of course we all went to see, and though everyone was too polite to suggest the cause (they were tweekers...) we were all there when he was following her around that yard "I'm sorry Kathy. Kathy, I'm sorry" and we were all eyeballing each other with the "Shouldn' a been cookin' on the stove" look 
We pretty sure she did flatten his head, but we (politely) didn't hang around to see.
There are safer extractions for THC aren't there? Did he just pick a "fast if risky" high yield one?

That, or at least done it outside. Don't they always recommend doing butane extractions outside so fumes don't build?
It's idiots like these that give pot smokers a bad name.

Haha, seriously. Put a lid on the container. Butane evaporates at -32F. Of course it's going to evaporate in a refrigerator. Gonna seep into all you food too.

Exactly. this method is like a pipe bomb. back porch on a windy day is great but a fridge plus the butane made a frag grenade. I would call them an idiot. however i dont know em. all i can say is..
Duhh... well now ya know......
