Best Answer

Not "soaked" at all.

A gentle drizzle of fluid over the coals should be enough to ensure that they light.

If they are soaked they'll burn up too quickly, and the food will probably smell of the fluid.

How bad are barbecue shapes for you?

Barbecue charcoal briquettes? If so, there are a few factors. Some briquette companies employ binding agents. Historically, they used glues that were not safe to inhale. While I don't think that they do that anymore, "self-lighting" charcoal is soaked in lighter fluid so as to make them easier to light. This fluid's vapors aren't good for you, either. Then there are things like "coal dust is bad for you!" and "do not touch the lit coals!" that are a little more obvious.

Why do oboe reeds have to be soaked in water?

All reeds need to be soaked to soften them before playing. This allows them to vibrate as you play. A hard, dry reed will crack rather than vibrate. Single reeds for instruments such as clarinet & saxophone are soaked by sucking them before placing them on the instruments. Double reeds for Oboe, Cor Anglais & Bassoon need to be soaked in water due to the different shape of the reed. Sucking them in the mouth does not soak the entire reed.
