[quote flygoddess]Might want to rethink that Charcoal thing. "Burning charcoal produces fine, sooty particles that can lodge in lungs and irritate existing respiratory conditions like asthma, but certain products can also release potentially dangerous amounts of carcinogenic volatile organic compounds such as benzene, which is known to disrupt cell functions."

Totally right, FlyGoddess, but burning ANY kind of fuel releases some kind of harmful substance. Some woods like beech, let off some bad stuff that can cause cancer. Eating foods smoked or cooked over mango wood (I know, not likely around here, but..) can kill you outright.
