Dear Andrew

I remember them but only that they had masses of long filaments coiled 
inside and they burst the glass when the evaporated.

>>All charcoal fires are gas fires.

>I think I disagree.

Well...OK.  I was being a bit extreme.  I think it was you who mentioned the 
combustion that takes place on the surface of charcoal with the carbon going 
directly from solid C to gaseous CO2.  Someone else perhaps.

My point is that there is little in a fire that does not involve burning a 
gas.

Back to more substantial things...
