I read warnings saying it is very dangerous to burn charcoal in a wood stove, that it produces huge amounts of carbon monoxide.
I have no wish to die, ever, so I'm not about to do this, but I am curious...
When I clean out the ash from my stove, there are always chunks of vaying size of...char-coal.
As I understand it, commercial charcoal is the same thing, just more refined.
Ground up and mixed into a slurry, then drained and compressed into the familar shape we use in our barbeque grill.
Is it dangerous because of the refinement?
Is the danger of burning the (natural) charred wood in our stoves offset by the volume of wood that we burn along with it?
