It is interesting that someone was grinding this up and using it as salt!

INGESTION: Not likely, if swallowed seek medical attention

Can we revisit this idea?? It doesn't make sense to me, but no one else commented before it fell off. A few people said they did it, I don't see the advantage, just that it is a bad idea.  And @thebaron , if your gonna flag a comment, have the balls to say something about your thoughts.

I agree- it definitely seems odd.  Just to clarify what we are talking about- on BBQ Pitmasters someone used grated lump charcoal and mixed it with salt and used it as a seasoning.  Someone mentioned there is a recipe in  Adam Perry Lang's book Charred & Scruffed.

They did mention using "organic" charcoal whatever that means.  

I'm assuming @thebarons 's flag was a slip of the finger .

Yeah, on my phone this causes problems. Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt and not referring to my manhood.

I'll revisit it. Ingesting charcoal (activated with O2) is actually a treatment for poisoning and other medical issues. Not the same as inhaling it, but charcoal is what's in a lot of water filters. No problem ingesting it.

I've given plenty of people charcoal, and I have a water filter coming off my pump house. Shaving my lump over my plate and activated medical charcoal really seam different, but after some reading guess its not.

That sounds like a big PITA.
