[TheForge] L brand Coke

That is sop with coke. A kindling fire and wood works also. You can use
the coke after the fire goes out.

Subject: [TheForge] L brand Coke

Just bought a few bags of L Brand Coke.  Tried starting the same way I 
normally do, rolled up newspaper in a ball, etc.

No luck, burned till the paper burned up but never got hot enough to 
start the coke.

After a couple of no-go's I put some green coal on the paper as it was 
burning and put the coke over that.

That worked and it burned well.

What's the trick to getting this L Brand Coke started?  I'm sure a few 
of you use it.

And, can you use it again after it has gone out.  On my coal, I do that 
after picking out the clinkers and obvious burned up stuff.
