For my Mom, the coal heating furnace was a God Send.

With six kids, she needed a place to burn off all the discarded clothes and toys.

She had many a huge bonfire inside our coal furnace, with huge sooty smoke leaving the chimney and soiling the clean laundry hung on clothes lines across several yards.

Good way to have a vicious chimney fire.

 Not so much. Its the green wood that builds up creosote on the walls.

During a hot bonfire that creosote would be coming down in sheets. We sprinkled a black powder on the fire.

I think it was saltpeter.
