DIAMOND BARIQUET
1 Diamond Briquets are madefrom the purest, richest portions of
coal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous.
The coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the
purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off.
This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give
it the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch.
It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each
weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond.
Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther
mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to
be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now on the mar
ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash.
What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets
1. The even size of Briquets permits a more regular and thor
ough combustion in the firebox or furnace.
2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in many cases prac
tically no smoke.
3. They retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici
ently to cut off the needed supply of air.
4. They burn to a fine ash without clinkering. Clinkers can be
formed if all the absolute ash is not removed from the grates regu
larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel.
Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS
Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briquets.
Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in
keeping chimney clean. ,
Give the, fire full draft until well started. This burns the smoke
and while making more heat also prevents soot.
Check tho diaft after fire is well started; very little draft is
needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced.
When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while
stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smoke from escaping
into the room.
A gentle shaki'i-r will clean the grates.
If you have a strong draft carry some Briqueti oshe3 on the
grates to help regulate t!ie fire. -Briquet ashes are light and porus
and the draft enn worl: through.
For banking to hold over night, cut off all draft completely
after applying the Uriqucts. If you wish to bank fires every niKbt,
you will get the .is?t results by carrying a deep fire, leaving ashes
on the grate.
