[TheForge] charcoal question

[Jerry Frost]

I don't know about bird lime, I thought that was bird 
droppings.

Quick lime is another term for burnt(ed) lime. The 
Romans used to break limestone into fist sized pieces 
and burn it in a kiln to a bright red heat. Afterwards 
they'd pile it in large bronze mixing tubs, add water 
and when the boiling slowed down add gravel to make 
concrete. Most large Roman construction was stone 
covered concrete made in this method.
