Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why?

I'd never really considered that people might not have seen coal burn.

In Ireland both coal and turf are still fairly common as the primary method of heating. That said they are "trying" to phase it out.

Since we produce a lot of NG around here that's what we use for heating. But we always used electric clothes dryers...

Isn’t the burning of bog utterly wrecking parts of your ecosystem? I’m really surprised youse are still doing it in this day an age.
