The BBQ BRETHREN FORUMS. - View Single Post - Another question about pit material and health

Would it be bad for my health to put black iron piping in my bbq pit? I personally don't think it would be a bad idea. I'm not cooking directly on it, it's just going to be in the back to be used as the exhaust. I was going to use stainless, but it's really expensive. I figure, black iron is what cast iron skillets are made of, right? Plus, black iron piping was used for water lines back in the day. The only reason they stopped was because they corrode too easily (or so my reasearch has told me). I'm feeling fairly confident about this, but I could really use a second opinion. Thanks!
