    Getting to Ashes

    Another way to get "your money's worth" out of every coal is to shovel them out right into the charcoal grill and cook with them.

    Afraid of TOO MUCH heat...please advise

    Get a big free standing stove, add extra attic insulation and be done with it. That's the best you can do with an older home.
