Found this type of "coal" in my stocking Christmas day - pictures below.
How can you not love a women who not only buys you a coal range,... hates cooking on any other type stove,... gives you dirty looks if you try to stop her going down to bring buckets of coal up from the bin, and then every year tries to find some type of Christmas coal related gift for you ?
This year she added new meaning to the term "hand fed" !!!! Chocolate anyone ?

Doesn't look like water or fines will be an issue bagged in those mesh bags. It does look to be a softer product which should produce a darker ash. I can't have sugar,so you all enjoy at least 1 bag for my peace of mind.

You can't have sugar Dave?! A fate worse than death itself. I shouldn't eat sugar, but do anyway. There are just some things I can't compromise on. I'll probably pay for it in the end, but "hey" at least I'll go with a happy tooth.windyhill4.2 wrote:Doesn't look like water or fines will be an issue bagged in those mesh bags.

It is a bummer to deal with no sugar,dealing with this issue since 1979, so it is easier than back then. I usually get a gift of artificial sweetened assorted chocolates for Christmas, but the sweeteners were found to be very detrimental to my kidneys. SO,no more of artificial sweetened chocolates either,that or I need to go on kidney dialysis soon. That verdict makes the choice easy, but sad.
