They are often galvanized (old ones)..after the first burn, the zinc
is burned out and they are safe to use. Just stay up wind on the first
burn. And its not all that bad..welders hate welding galv. but in

"The entire population of Great Britain has been declared insane by
their government. It is believed that should any one of them come in
possession of a firearm, he will immediately start to foam at the
mouth and begin kiling children at the nearest school. The proof of
their insanity is that they actually believe this."
