[TheForge] water on the fire and how much fuel?

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

I do use water... and have been told I was wrong for doing so. I have also 
used wet coal and been told that was wrong. At times I am unsure of what is 
right or wrong. I like to use a tin can on a metal handle and a Tennessee 
Valve (a couple of holes half way up in an upside down triangle I think) to 
put water around the coal on the outside. I was told by a friend it protects 
the firepot from burning...but then it also produces a few steam burns to the 
hand :>)
