Green fire

[Lois]

EEK!
Just lit my gas fire which has "coal" in it. When it was first lit a load of luminous green flames came out before the normal orange/blue ones.

Is that bad?!

[paulie-mafia]

Probably just dust or something!

Sounds like Irish coal to me - nothing to worry about.

Nasty - hope your barium up, or you might copper for it

Once it has cooled down well tomorrow anyway take the front/top off if you can and give it a hoover. Normally gets rid of the green stuff.

Carbon monoxide burns blue anyway, and forms carbon dioxide, so you want CO to burn.
