[TheForge] Stoker coal

[GHS]

In addition to my regular forging coal I still have an ash can or two of
the stoker coal that I was given when I first started and a customer
wanted to clean their bin.

I will probably still own it when I die. Mine is usable. It is also a
sulphurous clinker laden PITA.

Your may be better try it.
