Much experimenting has beendone in this country in briquetting fuels, the government having takenan active interest in the question, but as yet this class of fuel hasnot come into common use as the cost and difficulty of manufacture andhandling have made it impossible to place it in the market at a price tosuccessfully compete with coal. Coke is a porous product consisting almost entirely of carbon remainingafter certain manufacturing processes have distilled off the hydrocarbongases of the fue...l used. It is produced, first, from gas coal distilledin gas retorts; second, from gas or ordinary bituminous coals burned inspecial furnaces called coke ovens; and third, from petroleum bycarrying the distillation of the residuum to a red heat. Coke is a smokeless fuel. It readily absorbs moisture from theatmosphere and if not kept under cover its moisture content may be asmuch as 20 per cent of its own weight. Gas-house coke is generally softer and more porous than oven coke, ignites more readily, and requires less draft for its combustion.
