I had about 2/3rds of a bucket of coal sitting there. I didn't need to add it but had room in the pot and time to play....so I dumped it in keeping an area in the back of the burn pot exposed to hot coal. Usually when I add coal, I add at least a full bucket....and with this being nut size, it usually takes 20 minutes or so to get the blue ladies dancin'. Well, I went away with my internal alarm clock set for 20 minutes ish and when I glanced over at about the 10 minute mark, I had a doozer of a fire going.coalnewbie wrote:Explain banking 2/3rds a bucket. I would prefer in your No 8s for idiots guide you make a movie of these mistakes in real time. Now that would be exciting, put it on Youtube..... Ashcat, what are you doing these days?
I pushed the banked coal around to make it all flat, cut the primaries, closed the secondaries, shut the MPD and threw it into indirect mode and cleaned out my skivvies.
It's bad enough that my errors in print will be 'out there' as long as the internet exists.....aint no way I'm doin' movies.
Plus, being a family board, I don't know how all the cussin' would go over.
