Discussion

TonyTK Dec 1, 2006:
My only caveat is that it might refer to transport/storage. Coal is prone to spontaneous combustion while briquettes are apparently far less likely to cause this problem due to their density - but I think Gillian's got it right.
John Jory Dec 1, 2006:
IMO the lack of googles makes this term highly questionable. IMO it should be 'feuerfest'. I suggest you take it from there ;-)

slow-burning

This is a very misleading term to use in conjuction with a fuel. I'd rewrite it and use "slow-burning".

agree David Moore (X) : You just beat me to it - I was about to suggest "which does not burn too fast", which comes to the same thing, innit...

agree TonyTK : "long burn time" (virtualweberbullet.com/newkingsford.html ). Maybe even stick stability in there.

agree jhp (X) : "Feuerstandfestigkeit" is a crucial property of refractories. "Slow burning" (best) or "fire stability".

neutral Gillian Scheibelein : this term is generally used in conjuction with ceramics with a very high melting point (Al/Mg oxides). The product in question is a fuel that will burn slowly and steadily
