I think we can also concur that at the temperatures for cold smoking and low and slow BBQing the boiling point of the zinc wont be reached and so is not technically going to be a hazard but for myself I still stay clear.
Yes it will technically not be a problem but I too avoid using Zinc. I do have concerns though when some get paranoid and warn of doom and imminent death when others have used the odd galvanised nut and bolt. I know you are not doing this but some people do have a tendency to.

But by its nature Charcoal and wood ash is Alkaline so no problem you would think. My worry is that the temperatures reached on Hot Grilling "may" cause sickness. So if you value your health and that of your friends is it worth taking the chance of being wrong?. So for me Food, Heat and Galvany products don't mix.... NOOOOOO!!!!!"
By the way the guy on EBay must be from a different planet, its the worst DIY job I have seen and he wants £230 quid????
Agree totally about the BBQ on ebay. Unfortunately some people are likely to be tempted by it !
