More FFos-y-fran coal for Andrews House on Sunday - & more volunteers are needed for bagging |
Open casting at FFos-y-fran, NE of Merthyr Tydfil. |
Welsh dry steam coal is very friable, needing careful handling - it's screened & chute loaded to reduce dust |
It has low sulphur, ash & chlorine content |
It ignites slowly, burns hot, produces little clinker & is smokeless
Firemen - mix any dust with lumps, anticipate steam requirements, keep primary air flowing & use a pricker to simply pierce holes in any clinker. There are ideas & discussions on the web.
