Hi! My name is Gerania and I'm a redneck. On a more serious note(?), if someone starts a fire with fuel, just wait a while and it'll burn off. Once the fire has been reduced to lovely coals, it's time to roast the dog. I have no idea why people choose to burn food over leaping flames.
An old Oregon "redneck" wet weather campfire starting trick:
Use cheap greasy tortilla chips or Cheetos to start your campfire.
(If you don't believe me, take a chip, hold a lit match to it, and see what happens.)
The vegetable oil in them burns quite well, and doesn't smell.
I didn't mean to offend anyone with my redneck comment. Let's just say that the people I live around do not take the greatest of care when it comes to things pertaining to the environment or health. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "out there" environmentalists or health nuts, but I try to be responsible within my sphere of knowledge. For example, I don't want to eat diesel-coated weenies ()....nor do I kill ant beds by pouring gasoline on them, etc.
So anyway, sorry for the redneck comment and I hope this doesn't turn into a discussion about rednecks.
Smells are important in inspiring the appetite, and offensive smells can remove it.
Depending on how hungry I am, it is possible to choke down a dog or so, but in reality after you've been smelling it a while, you may not even notice it.
Olfactory ***** become dull when exposed to strong odors.
As for safety ,it largely depends on how deeply the oil saturated the material applied to.
lighter fuels can penetrate further faster than thicker oils that only ride the surface initially.
the lighter fuel will take longer to burn off an the base fuel burns up, the gas being driven deeper as it heats up.
Smokeless burning is best on food not having the smoke solids left in the food.
Red hot coals are optimum, rather then a blustering or smoky fire.
Fact of the matter is though "your eating hot dogs " processed meat.
If the food it's self is not a problem for you,, how it's cooked shouldn't matter much either.
