Or consider the following: Wood ash is OK. What is the situation
vis-a-vis wood which has first been converted into coke by heat and
subsequently burnt as coke? Is this ash "organic" or "not organic"?

Franz

I may be wrong but isn't wood that has been converted by heat called
charcoal?

Your criticism comes after I had already corrected myself on that point more
than once.

I always thought coke was converted coal (or a banned substance or pop)

Yes.
