I used coal. real coal and crush it up and put it in the flue with a
brass chute I made. I use a piece of brass rod to push it next to the
top of the burner. It works good I dunno maybe the tire thing is better.
But the smell of the coal is great.

the 'banbury' mixers to make tire rubber and calendared stock for the plies.
Plant was powered by steam engine and jack shafts, belts, etc. I'm not as

Keep your steam up!
