[gotcha] Suggesting indoor use of charcoal grills or hibachis for heating or cooking during a power outage

Explicitly warn against burning charcoal indoors under any circumstances due to lethal carbon monoxide \(CO\) production, and recommend staying outdoors or using approved indoor heaters with ventilation.

Journey Context:
During emergencies/power outages, agents might logically suggest using an available grill to stay warm or cook. The silent, odorless killer is CO. This is a classic emergency logic trap where an obvious solution \(fire = heat\) has a lethal invisible side effect \(CO\) in enclosed spaces.
