RE: As the Price of Cooking Gas Heads South, Charcoal Becomes An Alternative Source of Cooking Energy

[agmoore]

I'm thinking back to my childhood when we had a cast iron stove in the kitchen. This was used for cooking and heating (winters were cold!). As I recall, wood was our main source of fuel but every now and then we would get a load of coal, and this was considered superior (by my mother) because it would last longer. She never had an accelerant. She would coax a fire by adding paper and then tiny bits of kindling. That would work, eventually, as I recall. My mother was a master fire maker :)

Of course now I know that coal and wood are not good sources of fuel, when health is considered. You use what you have, though, don't you?

Thanks for a helpful article. I hope the fuel issue clears up for the people of Nigeria. You might imagine, I can understand the challenge.

Lol. My regards to her. They (mothers) sacrificed a lot for us that we can't fully reward.
