I have the same question, can you use ash from the bbq grill? Since it may still have some oil and fats in it from the dripping bbq.

The real problem with ash from a bbq are unburnt fats that drip off your food.

My friend told me that too much ash could be radioactive, of course mildly, but still.

Do you have to char(turn it black,brittle,lighter) the wood or just burn it for a while into white ash(medium weight coal and medium hardness).

I really wouldn't recommend it- it's likely had petrol chemicals in it and that could really hurt your garden and yourself.

Fastest, cleanest way to get the ash out of your fireplace--shop vac. Then you bring the canister right out to your garden.
