The shocking video shows the man stoking the fire with a piece of timber. He then grabs a blue tub, which appears to be full of white fire starters.
He walks over to the fire with the tub before signaling a thumbs up, then a thumbs down to his friends.
He throws the contents of the blue tub onto the barbeque, and almost instantly his plan literally backfires.
The man is completely engulfed in flames but somehow manages to run to safety and take his shirt off.
The man was rushed to the emergency room, suffering from severe burns and is currently recovering in hospital.
