Hello,

Does anyone have an idea of someone selling coal mice online this season? Tried an eBay search as well as links from old threads to no avail. If anyone knows, please post - thanks!

Tonite I tried something different. I took a typical peanut can, you know cardboard sides and tin top and bottom. I took a church key, "old fashioned can opener" and put the triangle punch outs all along the perimeter of the bottom. I then packed the bottom with newspaper, than crushed charcoal, and then rice coal. The top is wide open, because we had to eat the peanuts and I lit the base of the side, next time I will pop a 1 inch side hole to aid in lighting. It worked quite well.

Lit it with Mapp gas torch.
