If that kitchen extinguisher is rated for Class A, B & C, and has a USCG B-1 rating, then yes, it could be used.

The four basic classes and what they are used for are as follows:

  1. Class A - Solid combustibles that leave an ash residue after being burned
  2. Class B - Gasoline, oils, liquid combustibles
  3. Class C - Electrical fires
  4. Class K - Kitchen fire - stove-top or fryer oil cooking fire, for instance, but not for putting out a fire on a Jet-ski.

If your ABC or BC extinguisher has no USCG rating on its label and mounting bracket, then it will not be sufficient to meet USCG requirements, even though it may work perfectly well on a fire.
