Is there a big difference if lump charcoal comes from pine wood?
I know that you shouldn't use pine for smoking but how about
for lump charcoal?

We've had some pretty big forest fires in New Mexico and now
someone is harvesting those charded and dead pine trees
and processing them into lump charcoal. Are they safe to
use, will the taste be different or does it matter since it now
charcoal and not wood?
