At first I thought it was just a stick, but it really does look like the leg off a doll. Weird.

Strangest thing I found in my coal was a slim Jim wrapper and a piece of primer cord.

My old neighbor used to say "If you can get it hot enough, anything will burn." I watched him burn an old, big satellite dish from the 80s (which was probably the hottest fire I've ever experienced) and an entire pop-up camper.

He had a bit of a screw loose.
