December 27, 20178 yr TO: All Blacksmiths FROM: Santa I have finally caught on that you clowns have been deliberately misbehaving in order to get free coal. I considered leaving reindeer xxxx in your stockings, but you characters would cheerfully burn anything in your forges with a carbon content that didn’t cost you anything. From now on any misbehaving smiths will receive a stocking full of clinker (The only thing you guys WON’T put in your forges)! P.S.: Putting a “Welcome Santa” sign above your forge chimney is NOT funny- A coal fire is over five times hotter than a wood fire!
December 27, 20178 yr With that in mind, Santa, I will cancel all nefarious plans. Although clinker is useful... kinda. "Whats a guy gotta do to get some coke around here?!"
December 27, 20178 yr Big Bill, a.k.a. Santa, Crushed clinker works great on ice, to give better tire traction. With that in mind you may, now, wish to keep some for yourself. Just sayin, SLAG.
