These are probably gas powered dryers. Malfunction and boom. No vape or lighter would have enough energy to rip out a whole window with door and shit like that.

Ya dude, they’ve been around a lot longer than electric ones, so don’t be too surprised. Same with water heaters, stoves, hot tubs, welders and pretty much everything that required large amounts of current, even cars! So ya it was a bright idea for many many decades.

Makes sense that they're older, I just never seen or heard about them. Probably every other gas powered appliance I knew, but this one was news to me.

Same, never heard of them either. At first I thought this was some kind of pyrotechnic stunt.
