I never had problem with parchment paper catch on fire or anythingBut today, I use parchment paper to line my baking pan, leaving a little hang of parchment paper along its side so it's easier to lift my brownies right out, but then it catches on fire!!! Like what the hell, it never been a problem since I was a little girl baking, but now it literally on fireI was near my oven all the time, then I started to see excess smoke came out of my ovenI look in and something red was framing - the fire!!! I stop the oven I took the brownies out and the fire was under the brownies (on the parchment paper beneath the brownies)What's wrong? I thought parchment paper and aluminum foil is oven safe? Does it mean that I shouldn't line my baking pan and stuff with parchment paper since then? Anyone have this similar problem? P/S: The parchment paper was not just burnt it's actually on fire!!!
sounds like the vents arent doing there job.i wonder if they actually did your ridge vent right.should have cut the top of the ridge all the way down.is this a new roof?
hi where is the moisture coming from eliminate that and no water
Paper, wood and other things made of cellulose begin to burn at 451 F (233C)Maybe your paper touched the oven wall which was at least this temperature? It can ignite from radiant heat alsoIf it was near enough to the heating coils, or whatever generates the heat, that could have done it, especially if you had the heat turned up temporarily to try to heat the oven fastAs long as you keep all parts of the oven around the usual baking temperature it should be fineI had the same problem when I tried to dry a chunk of wood too fast by raising the oven temperature too highThe edges dried first and the high temperature ignited the wood.
just because there is a ridge vent and soffits does not mean that they are installed correctlyi have seen this beforei would suggest at least three roof vents on a roof that size
You don't say where the 8 of foam insulation is - against the roof or in the floor of the attic (ceiling of the house)Either way you have moisture in the attic that cannot escapeFinding the source of the moisture is critical, or you will have structural damage and mold problems in a short time If it was installed correctly, the foam was sprayed in place on the floor of the attic, and the space blanket is a radiant barrier in against the ceiling of the attic, resulting in an unconditioned atticIf so, then the moisture is coming through an opening through the foamLook for bath fans or kitchen exhaust fans that don't duct to the exterior, openings around pipes or skylightsCould there be a clothes dryer duct that has become blocked or disconnected and allows moisture to exhaust into that space? You're going to have to become a detective and locate the sourceI've seen problems like this result from the things listed above as well as a large number of potted plants in the house, fish tanks, drying clothes inside the house, failure to use exhaust fans in the bathrooms, hot tubs, malfunctioning furnaces (which would also be a hazard from carbon monoxide), and dozens of other sourcesEvery bit of moisture in the house has to escape somewhere if it doesn't go down the drain, and these items can release hundreds of gallons of water into the air over a couple of monthsThis moisture is driven to cold surfaces (like windows) and up through penetrations in the vapor barrierYou may need the services of a qualified expert in home energy and air quality, or at least a very knowlegeable insulation contractor.
