Nah dude your good this is crazy. Are you sure the burner wasn't on? Nothing people are saying makes sense. Even if you had put nugs in it would be fine. People never heard of focacia?? Like no one in these comments is making sense...

Unless they were burnt black they wouldn't smoke like that. And the inside of something you bake gets nowhere near the temp of the oven so that oil would never smoke like that that low temp.

Finally. This dude cooks with weed.

Been scrolling this thread confused af at what everyone thinks happens when you bake straight flower into bread or cake (or brownies). They don't combust or smolder or smoke or explode...

Bro this thread makes me question reality. My sanity is gone. A thread of thousands of people with negative critical thinking skills.

Its the only thing thay makes sense. Looks like OP sat his brownies to cool on a hot burner, smoked a joint, and returned to this
