Then how come my barbecue doesn’t get white hot and melt down like that? And how can a kitchen fire cause wtc 7 to fall straight down?

Did you ever take a basic high school shop class?
Anyone with a very basic exposure to metal or welding; knows that steel is weakened as it is heated. That is how blacksmiths forge and shape metal objects.

Because your barbecue is
- made to sink & radiate heat
- isn’t supporting your car on top of it.

Because your BBQ only gets to about 700 degrees, max., whereas jet fuel burns at somewhere between 800 - 1500 degrees. Structural steel loses about 50% of its strength at 1100 degrees. Oh, and your BBQ doesn’t have to hold up anything other than itself - the structural steel in the WTC had a rather different job.

Plus, once the first floor to collapse did so, suddenly the floor that was right below it weighed at least twice as much - and the steel and concrete wasn’t designed to handle that...leading it to collapse onto the floor below, etc. That was the pancaking effect that we all saw. Your BBQ doesn’t have 110 BBQs on top of it, that’s why it is just fine doing what it does, which is just sitting there and containing most of the heat and flames.

Also because your fuel isn’t fast-burning jet fuel.
Try cooking your hamburgers over a gallon of that stuff and tell us how well the grill holds up.

Somewhere there’s a video of a guy pouring liquid oxygen onto a charcoal grill. The latter doesn’t fare well.

Do you barbecue with jet fuel???

“And how can a kitchen fire cause wtc 7 to fall straight down?”

Well, falling debris from the other towers had sheared off load-bearing parts of the structure. Of course the conspiracy theorists you listen too probably withheld that information from you, because conspiracy theorists just ignore and hide inconvenient facts that contradict their theories.

Because your grill doesn't get much hotter than 600-650 degrees. Maybe 700 at the very max. Any hotter and you are going to have problems but grills are designed to not get hotter than that.

I would say the same applies to kitchen stoves.

Have you ever seen how the construct buildings and asked yourself why do they spray on fire resistant insulation on it?

Also why the fire marshal’s think it’s a big deal when the insulation starts to fall off
