    I'm always amazed at how far these episodes are planned in advance. I always think "Man that sure is wasteful, going across the country for 1 material." but it turns out Andy actually visited 15 different states for 30 types of raw material that he might need years down the line during that trip. Makes me wonder how many different materials they are still sitting on, waiting for relevant videos to come out to be used.

    In Germany we celebrate Nikolaus on 6. of December and when I was a child my parents always told me if I misbehaved he would bring me coal, but it never happened so I started saying "It isn't gonna happen anyways!" so my dad probably took some Briketts we had left from the Summer and put them with my presents. I still got all other presents, the coal was just extra, but that taught me a bit of respect, at least for that evening 😂

    I work at an Anthracite coal mine in Pennsylvania. Anthracite is less common than the Bituminous and burns so much hotter and cleaner. The coal you are getting is Bituminous which is softer and dirtier. Anthracite is so hard its brittle like glass and shiny.
    I could possibly get you some footage of what we do and I could even get you some.
    Around Eastern Pennsylvania the Anthracite coal veins come right to the surface. My mine and others around are taking advantage of the largest vein in the world called the mammoth vein.
    Anthracite coal is used for far more things than just burning as fuel. It's used in the medical field, for electronics, and many other things.

It celebrates the triumph of Marduk, the patron deity of Babylon, over the forces of Chaos, symbolized in later times by Tiamat. The battle between Marduk and Chaos lasts 12 days, as does the festival of Zagmuk.
      But last December they decided to celebrate Zagmuk, I assume, so it's not connected to any modern religious celebration, And therefore everyone can celebrate it.

      @Alan Hardcastle I think the lignite can be turned into coke. But it will be a fairly light coke that burns fast. It should work for blacksmithing. It just burns faster than other grades. and can’t get quite as hot which is fine. It likely also burns a bit dirtier. It’s not ideal but it should work.

    when you get to steel just remember that the temperature a fire burns at depends on the input air temperature. The is a paining of several fires going up a hill and I think they were using the heat from the lower fire to heat the air going into the upper fire. This approach would take a lot of chimneys and ducts, but an easier method would be to just blow air down a pipe that is inside the chimney. The pipe would would be heated by the fire and then the air would be routed under the fire. A friend melted the steel grate that held the wood playing around with this approach.

    As a geologist, coal is referred to as a mineraloid and not as a rock or classic mineral. The best coal, known as anthracite, is shiny like a glass. Low grade coal is brownish (lignite). Mid-grade/common coal breaks like brittle plastic. During the depression, my grandfather mined coal from riverbanks in Iowa (northeastern IA) as it was free. Check it out!

    Pedantic warning. Coal's origins were vascular plants (not just plants) which had evolved with lignin lined cell walls. These new plants were unable to be broken down by the fungi at the time so just piled up. A few years later the fungi evolved to eat the lignin and no more coal was laid down. I believe that's the current thinking. Great video's

    You should visit eastern Montana or Alaska, in Alaska many beaches have large chunks of coal in Montana the Yellowstone river has large chunks of coal on gravel bars and you can see large quantities in layers along were the river carved it....pretty much the same in ND..

    Literally the whole point of giving Coal as a Christmas gift to naughty children was as a warning that if they did not shape-up they would end up as coal miners. At least that was the threat in the UK.
    The German tradition of giving Coal for naughty children was more the compassionate thing, that even a misbehaving child did not deserve to freeze to death. So the coal was there to keep them warm so that they could grow up and learn to do better.

    Just letting you know that coal is graded differently to regular minerals. High grade coal are coals that burn with a higher calorific value, the order is generally peat, brown coal, bituminous coal and then black coal (anthracite). Looking at the coal you got from the mine, while there might be alot of no coal compounds in it, it appears to be bituminous coal(possible anthracite but im guessing not) the coal your friend got was most definitely brown coal. So in short that abandoned mine has a higher grade coal but what looks like alot of gange material in the ore.

    I think it's cooler to get your own coal from the surface than it is to get coal from a pit mine for your purposes. I would hypothesize that the early discovery of coal would be that surface stuff, not the special pit mined stuff, since in order to begin pit mining, they need to begin by extracting the surface materials, first.
    I am new to your channel but I really enjoy everything I have seen so far. Merry zagmuk!

    Coal is easy to find, In fact it's probably in the hills near your hometown in Minnesota. lol I see it in ND across the way. but awesome either way. Coal (certain ones) can be pressurized to make diamonds. So give me a coal lump please! Merry Christmas @HTME team. We'll see you in next new years :D 2021.

    All you have to do is walk literally any railroad track in the United States and pick up pure coal, It is all over since trains bring coal all over the country. That is how we get tons of it that you can actually sell back to the mining companies. By the way, that ladder was tall enough to reach the opening from the outside, you have to extend it fully and actually have a spotter to hold it while you climb.
