If you read your link, it referred to inhaling large quantities, such as when mechanics pour a bunch on the floor to clean up large spills several times a day without masks. You’re not doing that here whereas if you’re cooking on a UDS regularly without a deflector and so the fat is dripping on the coals, you are exposing yourself to cancer causing substances every time you cook.
Bottom line: It’s such a SLIGHT increase in cancer risk as to be almost neglible in either case above, much as the overblown studies a few months ago that screamed “red meat causes cancer” (further in-depth reading revealed less than a 0.5% increased risk, as I recall). You’re in the wrong hobby if you worry about that kind of stuff.
I understand well the supposed risks of eating meat and the risk of cooking meat on coals. That doesn't mean because I'm taking some risk that all risk becomes ok.
Took about a week to read this whole topic . Just wanted to thank everyone for all the information. New to smoking. Started on a pellet, then to a pitbarrel and now just made UDS with my father. Figure i would post it here.
Nothing ugly about that. Nice work.
