What where fireballs?When the Souths supply of coal was exhausted, city dwellers mixed coal dust, sawdust, sand, and wet clay into hardened lumps called "fireballs" which they used to heat their homes.

I'm thinking that maybe it would be good for you to post most of the tactics that the South came up with during those hard times, Mark.

We may be needing them ourselves.

Please don't say we would still be using fireballs, I like gas heat!!!

Wonder how someone came up with the idea of mixing all of these different materials together???
