I have few big chunks ofcharcoal in my tank purely because of vivid black colour. I've boiled it about four times for about 30 minutes each times changing water after every boiling session than I've dipped it in bucket of water for a week. It's instead of driftwood. and is been at the bottom of tank for moths without breaking in to pieces or making any mess.

Saving Charcoal With A Good Barbecue Grill Lid?

A good barbecue grill that uses charcoal will have a tight-fitting lid that can be sealed to prevent air from entering into the well of the grill. This helps to control the temperature inside of the grill and also helps to save money. Charcoal will stop burning when oxygen is not present because of a tight lid. This means that large amounts of charcoal can be saved for the next grilling event. Partially used charcoal can have the white ash removed from the surface and can then be used just like new charcoal.

What are Disadvantages of charcoal energy especially to humans?

Charcoal is wood that has been semi-burnt to a certain stage in a kiln that lacked oxygen. Charcoal can be further burnt as fuel at a barbecue, as a simple example, or used by an artist in charcoal drawing.The disadvantage is that charcoal is produced by a long process of more than one stage, which would add to the cost to consumers if used as a source of energy for heating and cooking in the home, compared to simply turning on a gas stove to cook, or a gas heater to warm the home.
