This does kinda smack of “RedneckEngineering” - a group often disparaged as being stupid AF, but who often come up with ingenious solutions to problems using what they have on the spot. Maybe they threw a pipe on the exhaust to extend it outside, or similar.
And of course fail because getting a seal on those ad hoc solutions that would stand up long term to the heat if the exhaust is tricky.
Redneck engineering can look quite clever, but often has a much higher chance of causing a news story that begins with “tragedy struck when…”
If it’s innocuous like an ad hoc fix to a gate, ok. unfortunately they often involve “fixing” annoying safety things to be more convenient by ripping out a flame arrestor or cutting a vent in something that is supposed to trap vapors or zip tying some safety interlock.
