andy,

Coal would be bad for grilling. Smells bad burning. Really bad. Kerosene bad.

Face: Large piles of coal need to be shifted constantly to prevent spontaneous combustion.

You don't want to cook with something like that.

We went camping once in KY and you could find chunks of coal along the river beds.

Tossed a lump into the campfire. Bad idea - it stinks really bad when it burns.

It is easy to find along the tracks tho. Have picked up a chunk or two before. Never burned them tho..

I see this stuff everyday, I work at a coal fired power plant. They don't rail it in here, they have their own mines and dig Lignite, a young coal.

Our other plant rails in a 100 car train every two days or so, they get whats called Western Coal, they burn a mix of lignite and western. The western burns cleaner and at a higher BTU, we sell one of the by products called Fly Ash, amazing stuff, main use is in concrete. My locations main customer is a roofing plant, they use the ash in the process of making shingles.

Ever get some time and want to educate yourself, google fly ash, its wild stuff, specially the class c, we are class f here.

The class c you can put in a cup, add water and it will be rock hard in under 10 minutes.

Coals ability to create BTU's is based on the sulpher content.

The more Sulpher the more BTU's.

Just bought stock in the equipment that mines it.

BUCY...hot stock, and a LEAN learning company in Milwaukee, WI.

Randy, #27:

Chief very familiar with flyash concrete additive from the consumers end....

'...You can make several pours a day...' the batch plant foreman said. Ok...

First pour, before truck is even off site, concrete broomed and we are walking on it, finished, hard, done.

And all 3 of us are exhausted...

No mas...

HAHAHA!!!

Must have been the quick dry with Class C in it.

That stuff will set pretty darn quick, we have several proprietary products made with Fly Ash, one called swift Crete, used in Afghanistan actually, when we bomblet the runways the military uses our product to quickly patch the wholes in the runway.

Also a fairly new product is called, Flex Crete that stuff is amazing, its going to change th construction industry one day, lightweight, better than cinder blocks, we make blocks, planks and panels.
