With the final season of Game of Thrones fast approaching it's important to understand exactly how a dragon produces fire.
Calling them 'Fire-breathing' is not entirely accurate. Call them 'Fire-exhaling' Dragons to be more precise.
Much like the monkeys that eat the charcoal for digestion, dragons regularly seek out flint and marcasite-rich environs.

you're thinking too hard, dragons do fire. if they didn't they'd be sky iguanas. or like some kinda reptile bats. anyway, they do fire. just imagine how trump would think about it, and accept the new reality.
Post credits: Several years later Arya in King's Landing presents her nephew, future King Eddard I, with three dragon eggs. (bomp bomp badda domp bomp)
I say Sansa ends up on the throne as queen regent and Dany and Jon's baby will be king when he comes of age.
All the Lannisters die and Bronn gets Casterly Rock and his people become new high house to replace the Lannisters. Jon and Dany die and all the dragons die and stay dead. Jon kills Night King which kills all the dead and wights. Arya kills Jamie during a battle takes his face and kills Cersei as Jamie after the Hound kills the Mountain. The Hound is mortally wounded by the Mountain and then Executed by Arya. Brienne dies fighting Night King. Jorah, Tormund, Pod, Beric die most from Ice Dragon fire. Theon kills Euron but Yara is named leader of Iron Islands. Gendry lives and is made a Baratheon and Lord of The Stormlands. Robin Arryn lives and who cares. Edmure Tully lives and is Lord of House Tully. Dany dies in child birth/ or Jon stabs her dead because of the prophecy. Jon dies because Melisandre lets him know that his resurrection was only temporary for some as yet unheard witchy type magic reason. Greyworm lives and is the executioner of Tyrion for having made a deal with Cersei. Sam becomes Maester at Winterfell and Gilly and baby stay there with him. Bran worgs into a dragon at some point during the fighting, he survives and goes north to continue as The Three Eyed Raven. Arya is seen on a ship headed to an unexplored continent. Before she gets on board Jaquin Haghar sees her but decides not to pursue her out of admiration for his former student. The Dothraki are given Dorne? The Unsullied become Queen Sansa's army and guard in King's Landing. Melisandre is taken up into the sky by the Lord of Light. Jon and Dany's son is named Eddard Targaryen.
Meanwhile, health authorities in Middle Earth have issued a Smaug warning.
It's like a Taki's burp with a lighter in there. Got it.
(side note: A couple years ago I ate a Carolina Reaper I got from a store in Fort Mill SC near Charlotte and it was a nightmare. I was holding a hose pipe running in my mouth for like ten minutes and I threw up what looked like blood.
It was like an instant fever, real mistake. Then I hear recently there's a new hottest pepper in the world, but i'm done with that nonsense, no thank you.)
Note also that the production of fiery exhalations consumes only a portion of the flint and marcasite rocks the dragon ingests. The rest is used for grinding food in its gizzard (dead men's bones!) and eventually follows the normal digestive route. Which means that dragons not only breathe fire, they also shit bricks.
