To All,
Water is added to coal to slow the process down. You have to vaporize the
water before the coal will burn. The vaporization of the water keeps the coal
cool. For the advanced coke maker who uses a loosley sealed 1-5 gallon bucket
for the coke oven, water may be aded to slow down the process but it has no
other effect.

Can you give more details concerning the use of a 1-5 gallon  bucket as a 
coke oven??

TIA
