Is it safe to use tin foil underneath charcoal in a BBQ?
When I use my charcoal bbq, which is a 14.5 inch diameter cooking area, I place tin foil all over the bottom and sides, covering the inside of the bbq. I then proceed to place the grills on and the charcoal on top, my concern is, is it safe, will any chemicals come from the tin foil?
Answers:
No you're fine. The foil reflects the heat making your BBQ more efficient. And keeps the drippings from making a mess all over the bottom. That's all.
well...does it smell bad or make your food taste funny...because if it doesnt i doubt that it is any problem
Yeah, it's safe. What's for dinner?
Ya its totally safe as long as you give me some of what your cookin up!!! =)-
I see by some of the answers that this is a good and efficient idea. I personally have been doing this for years and have not acquired any problems nor have I heard of any negative results to this method.
yea man its safe
It is safe, if you can bake in it sure it wont hurt you..
no you can roast veggies in foil while grilling and they are great.Give it a try...
