It may be sub-optimal, but at that price it's worth grabbing some since
it does have it's uses.

If you go to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briquette> you will see that
briquettes contain:
1) mineral char: a.k.a. Lignite, also known as brown coal.
2) mineral carbon: a.k.a. Anthracite

Mercury is released from coal fires, and coal powered power plants are a
major source of environmental mercury contamination. The amount that one
inhales from a barbecue is probably negligible considering the amount of
coal being burned, but I feel that I already have as much mercury in my
body as I need.

Now some may say that this is silly considering the other risks that
come from barbecuing
<http://environment.about.com/od/health/a/charcoal_grills.htm>
but I say that some risk can't be avoided, and some can. The risk from
eating food cooked over coal is one risk I find easy to avoid.

I disagree with you. Too many people associate the taste of *lighter
fluid* residue with grilled foods. Started properly, in a chimney
starter with no lighter fluid, the Kingsford briquettes don't really
impart any taste, they just provide a 1,200 degree heat source.

Perhaps the chimney thing is it, since I have used both lump and
Kingsford and don't really detect a difference. I start a load of
charcoal in a chimney starter (with leaf blower draft assistance) and
when it's going good I add it to the firebox. One load is enough for
grilling, and when smoking I don't want delays in getting temps rising
once they start drifting down, so I use the same process and add the
well started charcoal to the firebox. The leaf blower draft thing
probably gets it so hot for a few minutes that anything funky burns off
then,
