Answers:
You can use it as fertilizer!. I will post a link below for you to check out and read!. I would crush up the chunks you have left though!. Put them into a bad and step on it several times, that should do it :)
also, what type of soil you currently have!? If you have really dark black almost clay-like soil, I would say do it!. If it's really sandy soil, then it may not stick around too much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Leave the used coals in your grill and use them next time you grill!. They light quickly and serve as a coal base quicker while the new briquettes light!. The best thing is to use hardwood charcoal, it is 100% wood and leaves less ash then brickettes!. Brickettes use charcoal and filler, like fine concrete, this causes them to burn faster!. Natural charcaol will impart a better flavor on everything you grill!.
You can empty the burnt coals into the flower bed, it will cause no harm!. It is best not to leave large pieces, as they will not break down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not all the accelerant used vaporizes, so if you use lighter fluid on the briquettes, just let them cool/dry for a couple days and then dispose of them in the trash!.

If you use a chimney with newspaper(no chemicals) to start the fire you can put them around the base of trees, shubbery and a light sprinkling in the flower bed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

why not use it to cook food!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
