[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 57143, member: 923"] Yup.. I was correcto.. [URL='http://www.instructables.com/answers/what-is-the-difference-between-activated-charcoal-/']what is the difference between activated charcoal and charcoal briskets. Can regular charcoal be used in a filter?[/URL] Says in one of the comments near the bottom of the page that briquettes contain chemicals and are unsuitable and possibly lethal to use for water filtration. Edit: Correction.. Just found this information on eHow.com " If you have pure charcoal briquettes that contain only pure charcoal and a starch binder, and no other chemical additives, then you can use these. If the briquettes contain starter fluid or another contaminant, do not use them. If you happen to have access to refined activated carbon (perhaps a refrigerator water filter), then use that. Otherwise, you will have to build a fire. Use regular wood for the fire, not chemically-treated fireplace logs. Remove the logs from the fire when they turn black and crumbly.
