Carcinogen risk?
Her second question was is it safe to eat off charcoal that often? Doesn't it cause cancer ? I said no but then I saw the notice on the royal oak bag stating burning lump charcoal is a known cause of cancer in California.So whats the story here is it ok to be eating off the egg a few times a week? Should my kids be eating this food? Yes I know we are all going to die from something right?

Just don't do it in California - it must be safe everywhere else or it would say so on the bag.

Only an issue in California-just like auto emissions and most other heavily regulated things just an opinion-as I was there during the current gov's first time in the chair...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Everything is bad for you.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Everything causes cancer...at least that's what my federal overlords tell me. In all seriousness that was something I looked at too...seem to be the char that is the issue not smoke flavor.Atlanta suburbs

I bought a new set of pedals for my mountain bike and was shocked to see a label on the box say "contains contents known to cause cancer in California". I laughed. My first thought was (no offense to CAs): only an idiot from California would try to eat a bike pedal.

Too funny. Well I fell on a ride a couple years ago and broke my arm. So, my bike needs a label warning me for that too I guess. -
Most of these warnings are a result of the overly litigious mindset in the US and are just an attempt to mitigate potential product liability claims---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

ToTN speaks the truth. Ever wonder why there is Braille on the drive up ATM or at some gas pumps. CYA in full mode.
CA labeling laws border on the insane. While we lived there MTBE was mandated as a gasoline additive there was a warning label for gasoline but not for MTBE....go figure.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx -
Hopefully, you are not Egging in the presence of sunlight, also a know carcinogen.

The mortality rate of BGE owners eventually equates to 100% which, coincidentally, is the same for non-BGE owners.

I'm working on a cargo/loaner bike - tough part is to make it cancer free for Californians. (bought SWMBO a new bike the other day, turning her old bike into a fun bike).

I read about the braille thing a few months ago. It is actually done because it is more cost effective to have only one type of touchpad produced since most uses are quiteAustin Egghead said:ToTN speaks the truth.

If you want it to be fun, add a banana seat and streamers. VI can help with that part.nolaegghead said:I'm working on a cargo/loaner bike - tough part is to make it cancer free for Californians. (bought SWMBO a new bike the other day, turning her old bike into a fun bike).

Braille thing is as good as the picture graph signs for the library for those who can't read.

Wow, I will make this part of my master plan if I ever want to leave this world. I will begin a delicious regime of BBQ 3 times a day plus BBQ snacks till I go to BBQ heaven. At least this way I can control when and how I get my cancer verses waiting for it to choose to attack.

Life is bad for you, in the end, you'll die from it. Relax, don't worry, fire up the egg and crack open a cold one.

Grilling isn't bad for you....burning your food is!
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are made when fat burns. That isn't happening much when you are cooking correctly on an Egg, in my opinion.
But when you see people with an inferno while grilling chicken on their gas grill...that's a different matter :0 Buy an Egg, save a life
