I think the photograph shows melted aluminum... the plastic is charred and it's interesting that the heat generated from the melting aluminum did not ignite the plastic coffee decanter. Regardless, and as Jeff Foxworthy says, "How do you know they are a redneck?" There's your sign...

As I frequently tell our inspectors when they show up, "I think sumthin' got hot what wasn't s'posed to."
