In a furnace, closing your ash door tightly. open your check and shut your pipe damper almost off. Open your cheek on your fire door and you will have complete satisfaction with this coal. The reason .fru ther ab n e is that Alberta coal is a free -burning coal, and by using the above method you alloy- a current of cold air to pass over you' fire, holding the gases down so that they will he burned in your fire pot, and not escape through your chimney, thus allowing gond heat to get away.
