Yep! Burns hotter and cleaner, imo.
Cannell , as I understand it, was formed from pollen rather than heavier plant material.
Kinda reminds me of flint the way it flakes off the block.

yeah like flint.its a little harder to get here.but i run across it now n then.

I have about a half ton of it . My eldest daughter bought a house which had a coal cellar near half full of it :-)

That you Fish??

yes it is..its a small internet isnt it.lol

You two fellas need to head on up to Ripley, WV for the ABA Fall Conference, since you're both within a couple hours of here. Mark and Mindy Gardner will be doing the demo on Chasing and Repousse this time. Should be a great demo. Oct. 11& 12 Details are here Appalachian Blacksmiths Association if'n your not already members or coming.
