Is It Safe To Use The Cobb Bbq In The House

Would you light a BBQ in the House? On the face of it, this is a ridiculous question. If only because the flaming spitting and smoking monster that we call 'our BBQ' would probably burn the house down, or at the very least turn everything a very sooty black. No, this is a very bad idea and not just a little stupid. I can offer an alternative though.
