Nonsense. You can buy nitrates to cure your meat with. Next time you're curing meat throw in about 1 part charcoal per 7 parts nitrate as well as 1 part sulfur for every part nitrate, then use a match or torch to activate it before applying it to your meat.

If you examine activated charcoal under a microscope and compare it to charcoal from, say a fire place, activated charcoal is riddled with tiny holes. Its created this way to increase its surface area, it makes it more reactive for use in chemical labs.

Beyond labs, activated charcoal is pretty much only as useful as regular charcoal

You pyrolize it. It's the process of burning in the absence of oxygen. It's essentially how charcoal is made to begin with. With complete pyrolysis, you're left with nothing but fuel. After combustion, you will have very little, if any, ash.

>> No.11893282

>>11893078
Yes, I get that.
My point is that the charcoal you use for cooking is created via the same process which is used to make activated charcoal. It is already activated even if it doesn't say so on the label. Cooking charcoal and activated charcoal are already similar. Neither of them resemble the charcoal you'd get if you burned a wood log in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. If you were to by a bag of cooking charcoal and lab grade activated charcoal and look at them under the microscope they would look the same, because they are the same.

Note, by cooking charcoal I mean actual wood charcoal, not briquettes.
