Hi all. Tried to have a nice relaxing fire tonight. Our house has a coal fireplace instead of a woodburning one, so I wanted to try it out. I purchased some alleged "easy lite" coal from the Texaco, and went to work. I put 3 zip stick in the fireplace, then through the coal on top. The zip stick burned well... I tried again with two more zip sticks, same result. Finally, I put a bed of coal down, then put some more zip sticks, then little pieces of coal on top of that. Bingo. It seems what I was doing before was not unlike putting a piece of newspaper under a 8 inch round log and hoping it would take off... should be OK from now on!

Well Mark, this story is just awsome. I really needed a good laugh before bed. This certainly fit the bill! -Leslie
