And where are you located, Scott?  Where do you get it?

I've used a firepot with coke in Ontario.  So far as I recall, it had
no clinker breaker-type device.  The air entry was through a "hill" --
maybe 5" or 6" across -- in the bottom of the pot that was surrounded
by a shallow, circular depression before the sides of the pot rose to
their full height.  The clinker settled into the ring-shaped
depression instead of into the air inlet.  Is that style specially
intended for coke?  Worked very well.
