When I was a child, the large cinders from the heap of coal ash at the end of the garden would be gathered up, put in a basket, washed thoroughly, drained and put on the fire. We had a big open grate, with hobs on either side. When the cinders lit, they just glowed for hours and the heat was fantastic!
