CHARCOAL ON PESACH

Every year, we get the same question: Can we use charcoal on Pesach? Already this year, we have received the question a number of times.

The question is a good one, and we thought we would share our answer with everyone.

Charcoal Briquettes: Although they contain starch, they also contain borax, lighter fluid
and sodium nitrate, rendering them totally inedible. Therefore, they may be used on Pesach with no worries.
