Can burned charcoal have any use other than suicide ?

[Suicideisnirvana]

There is an outdoors area next to my house, where i can burn charcoal then get it inside. Problem is that we have those "Car-keepers" (it's a job that doesn't exist in most countries) that keep awake at night everypart where there is cars and people give them some chump change, so "empty outdoors" almost don't exist in the cities because of them.

I was wondering about asking someone to burn coals for me for some money, then give them back to me so i can take them inside, but i'm wondering about what excuse i can give him about why i need them, do they serve any use ONCE they are becoming gray ? (i know they are used for barbecues while they are burning, but after that, can they have any use ? )

Well you can use charcoal for hookah pipes although people usually buy the cheap packs with small charcoals made to use on the hookah pipes and people usually only use 1-2 at a time.

Well... You need it for garden health.

Instead of putting them out with the trash, put your ashes to use in and around your home. Here are a few suggestions for modern use:

1. Amend lawn and garden soil. Wood ashes contain calcium, potassium, and a variety of trace minerals important for plant health. They also work well as a lime substitute to raise the pH of acid soils. However, unlike limestone, which can take 6 months or more to change soil pH, wood ash is water-soluble and changes the soil pH rapidly.

I'm out of ideas for you but damn I learn so much on this site. Maybe doing clay work or pottery? Make it something weird but talk about it with confidence. Most wouldn't question it then.
