    Hate to say it, pwillie, but that tar probably contained PCBs.
    Probably ok if he didn't breath the smoke.
    We still have a lot of florescent ballasts at the plant that contain PCBs. Safety Dept. goes apey when one shorts out.

    Went to the recycler yard yesterday and turned in a 5 gallon bucket of cases and some plumbing brass and 1 bad car battery. Got $123.20. So guess what, this morning I went to my local dealer and blew $48.50 on reloading supplies [:)] Next stop - beer distributor and state store [:D]
