Well, that's a darn good question. I reckon that the wood chips, being
wrapped in foil as they are, are pretty self-contained. They're not on
fire or smoldering, the isn't sufficient oxygen for them to light. I
don't toss them on the ground at the end of the day, but just put the
foil package with the spent chips inside in my waste basket the next day.

That'll be my argument, anyways. I'll report back.
