Is It Safe To Use Firewood That Has Been "Miced" For Smoking/Cooking

[FireMan]

CN& Mr. Bones , yessir reminds me of the song of the Tale of Cow Pattie, yessir. 47 shots rang out!

True dat, was th same here in US, especial on th prairie, fer many; no source of wood, so, dung of one sort, or another used...purty common way TH up North, as I recollect: tundra, etc., an on North...

Still is, Norther, or more arid / treeless ya gits...

You have given a whole new meaning to cleaner smoke there bud!
Ahem, you really think mouse pee dissipates?

In some parts of the world they might welcome some wood adulterating their dung pile....

Spiders... thanks (not!). Damn, spiders....

[Mr. Bones]

Yer friend, he knocked of any residual fecal matter, it sounds like... Good Job, I woulda too, if'n I seen any...

Whenever I starts me up one my stickburners, I always have all th doors wide open, until I start gittin th fire, an cleaner smoke that I'm hankerin after...

Whenever I start to git to my chosen point, fire-wise, why then I first close down th cookin chamber door, to heat th cookin chamber...

When that starts closin in on my desired grate temp, I'll close th firebox lid, next...then watch / tend my firebox...eventually, I use th firebox door, or even its vent, to lock in th range I want...

I find it rather difficult to imagine a mouse piddlin more than a milliliter or more of urine, unless it was a larger one, an ya lefta beer out fer it...

I also reckon said mouse / mice didn't urinate on th smoker wood right afore ya grabbed it to use, which means a large part of it has already evaporated, leavin very little residual in said smoker wood...an likely days to dissipate, or for said hantavirus to have survived...

I jus loads me up some wood, an I do inspect th splits fer integrity...if'n it's all moldy, I'll do jus like yer friend, an chunk it down a few time on some concrete, mebbe knock th bark off, see what's left...if'n it's punk-arsed moldy, it don't go into my cooker.

Compost pile is where them rare few will end up...

Th rest, which is 95+%, go into my firebox(es), an I make BBQ.

Hope this helps.

[Mr. Bones]

Big Ten-Roger on dat!

FireMan My dog is so used them, she sits and watches 'em bobbing their heads up and down trying to attract a mate, her head bobbing up and down in exaggerated unison. It's hilarious.

[Mr. Bones]

I can certainly vouch fer Th Stupid, Brother...

Nobody mentioned spiders! OMG, there’s life in them ther wood piles! This just gave me a whole new outlook on life when it comes to lighting up a twig. Hmmmm, wonder what’s on this here thing. Sure wouldn’t want to lick it. Is my Charcoal safe? Mebbee sumthin crawled into the bag when I wasn’t lookin. May I dare say, mebbee we’ll have ta wear masks whilst we’re grillin? What have people done over all the ages? How can we even be still alive or alive still. I will have ta mull over the ramifications of this cookin matter. I’ll get back to ya, or not. 🕶

[FireMan]

Curious ain’t the word.

[FireMan]

I think this just put me over the fence! A village of fence lizards in the wood pile. Wow man!

[FireMan]

This is great, eco-systems in wood piles!

[FireMan]
