[TheForge] Re: charcoal vs. coal

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Charcoal is expensive to buy, if you can find it (real charcoal, not 
briquettes, of course).
Making it takes some knowledge.  And time.
On a job where I'd use 6 pounds of coal, I'll use 30 pounds of charcoal.
Showers of sparks are attractive.  Pock marks from being caught in a shower 
of sparks aren't.

 I'm becoming a big fan of charcoal- why screw with coal, when charcoal is so
 much easier to use- and much better smelling ;-) >>
