8 Remains of the Cokedale Coke Ovens

Copy and Paste from Wikipedia:  “The volatile constituents of the coal—including water, coal-gas, and coal-tar—are driven off by baking in an airless oven at temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Celsius. This fuses together the fixed carbon and residual ash.”  Coke is used as the main fuel in iron-making blast furnaces.
