Mystery Object in the Charcoal

I bought a new bag of Big Green Egg charcoal over the weekend and when I poured out the contents into my charcoal container I found this:
It's not steel wool. It appears to be fiberglass insulation. Now I know that the folks on this forum have found some strange stuff in their bags of charcoal but has anyone ever come across something like this? Should I even use the charcoal that was mixed in with this? Thoughts?

I've found insulation in both BGE and RO. I don't see any reason for concern.

part and parcel with the way it's made. charcoal would be twice as expensive if we had to pay for it to be picked clean before bagging.

In that case might as well apply some rub and smoke it for 8 hours.Lucky to have a LG Egg My Blog: http://manvsgrill.blogspot.com/
