Do you mean UNlikely?

No - likely. If you are heating the glue without heating it enough
to cause complete combustion, then you can generate incomplete
combustion byproducts.

Using aromatic cedar for plank-fish cooking, although it may be
considered a "trend" if you frequent haute cuisine places in the city,
is hardly a novel idea--it's been done for centuries along the eastern
coast.

So too with smoking tobacco - I don't do that either, nor would I
recommend it to others.

Safety aside, however, I've never had anything remotely as good as
cedar-planked fresh salmon. Just can't beat the taste.

The Romans used lead salts as sweeteners. You can do what you want -
I'm just saying there are things that aren't a good idea no matter
what the taste.
