Doesn't sound like a ventilation problem and grill charcoal should be safe. That leaves the rebar and if it was rusty there shouldn't be any zinc on it. Puzzle. You weren't drinkin' corn likker while you was forgin' were ya ;D ;D

Lol no, no drinkin. Working on projects and drinkin has never been a good combo for me. Once when closing up an engine job, i couldnt find my darned 9/16 socket. I had been drinking and i figured it must have been left in the intake. So I tore it back apart... never found it, and was always scared to hear it clank when I started it up.

Sounds like carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. That stuff  stays with you for a while (couple three days). Try using lump charcoal and not bricketts. Also soud s lime you may ha e gotten some zinc in tnere despite the rust. Glad your feeling better.

TRiggs:
You might have gotten sick from the brake dust off the drum you used that stuff is toxic.
