A 10 ohm quarter watt resistor with 12V applied across it. It passes 1.2A which means it dissipates 14.4W which is over 57 times its rated power. As such it smokes then bursts into flames. (Yay!)
(Note the use of a traditional quarter watt, 10 ohm carbon film resistor. These burn better than metal film ones.)
