[TheForge] charcoal question OT

[Jerry Frost]

I don't know. I do know fly ash is added to modern 
cement. I got a little cement lore when I worked in the 
state materials lab but cement wasn't really my thing 
and it's been a long time.

On the other hand a lot of Roman and Greek concrete is 
really white so maybe no pozzolon? (I just googled it) 
I just don't know but have done a little reading just 
now. I'm one of those guys who just can't look up one 
word in a dictionary. (Read, sidetracks easily)

Anyway, I have a little better idea what pozzolons are 
and what they do but not nearly well enough to relay it 
now. I'd web search it if you're really interested.
