A couple have been taken to hospital with burns after a barbecue exploded at a Bunnings sausage over Easter weekend.
It is understood the man was injured as he pulled his wife to safety after flames broke out at an Adelaide Bunnings about 12.30pm on Saturday.
The woman was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious burns to her face, while her husband was treated for minor burns.
Footage from the Bunnings car park showed thick smoke pouring from the barbecue as shocked customers and staff ran to safety.
A nearby car was also destroyed by the intense flames.
Although the cause of the fire is still under investigation, it is believed that the fire started after a gas cylinder was knocked over by an employee.

Ernie, who witnessed the fire, said a woman working the barbecue fainted, fell and knocked over the gas can.
“She fell to the ground and the next moment it went boom,” he said 9News.
In a statement, Bunnings said staff members and a customer used fire extinguishers nearby to contain the fire.
The police will further investigate the cause of the fire.
