I do some metalwork and was working a piece of copper that was 0.150 thick x 1” wide x 12” long. I was needing to anneal the copper (heat then quench it to make it soft/workable). Broke out the torch, fired it up to heat the copper then stopped. Hey why not just put it in the coal stove…Sometimes I guess I can be a little slow.
Anyway it worked like a charm so…FYI, should anyone need similar!
New use for the stove

Sometimes I stick metal in the coal fire. It doesn't take long to for the metal to turn red, then orange.
