Lidle Coal

[Steven P]

I was a bit late orderng coal this week so had to go to the shops for a days worth of coal. Got Lidles £4 for 10kg... I won't be getting that again, a reaonable heat but so much ash it smothered the fire (had to empty the ashpan twice a night, normally its once every other day)

This is part of what they are trying to ban .

surely that would be pre-brexit coal? So all produced to fulfil the same environmental targets across the EU?

 

Can't possibly be anything wrong, can there be?

Orimulsion also sets solid in air.

I heard a story that when Richborough power station in Kent was burning it, they had a problem with one of the forced air fans on a boiler = cue unburnt Orimulsion going up the the stack.

Unfortunately, so the story goes, VW were importing cars via the nearby dock and some of them ended up spattered with spots of hardened tar. Powergen allegedly ended up buying said cars and using them for staff.

Think brushings up meet slack in a 10KG bag.

Its wet and poor but the bride throws it in.the woodburner in her forge to take the cold out the air.
