Feb 27, 2017 at 17:34 comment added Joe @Alaskaman : that was my first thought, too ... after all, it's the remains of food being used to cook other food. But it's also important to mention that it's dried dung being used. It's less common today, but more likely to be found in areas with people 'living off the land' in areas with grazing animals and few trees.

Feb 27, 2017 at 16:36 comment added Catija @Jefromi The comment seems to imply "cooking fuel". I suppose the accepted answer does involve burning herbs when smoking.
Feb 27, 2017 at 16:34 comment added Cascabel Are you just looking for any example of the general concept in the title (including burning a bit of something when cooking with another fuel source), or are you actually asking about using food as a fuel as in the body of your question? None of the answers addresses the latter, yet you've accepted one.

Feb 27, 2017 at 6:34 comment added dezign Isn't this why a lot of gas grills have two racks, i.e., so you can use the smoke from the lower rack to cook the food on the higher one? (yeah... I said it!)

Feb 26, 2017 at 5:16 comment added Alaska Man In India ( and other places i am sure ) they use cow dung as fuel for fires and they pour butter on to feed it. Technically dung and butter are foods that have been processed . Just saying.

Feb 26, 2017 at 3:35 comment added Katianie Why not? I'm asking about in general. Could you use food, as a cooking fuel to potentially change the taste of another food. Almost like a spice.
Feb 26, 2017 at 3:23 comment added Catija Why would you waste expensive meat to cook cheap meat? For that matter, why would you waste food to cook other food at all?
