Usual set up. Stirred the ash and moved the used coals to the back of the firebox. Dumped the end of a bag of Rockwood into the egg. It had been shipped (firecraft) so the bag was fines and dust - so much dust that I couldn't see how full it was (just under the spider). Lit it up. Everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks for your concern.

Happy Friday!

Man, you better watch out. I know you got some NOLA Voodoo in that egg if it's actually burning under such dire circumstances.

true I never considered that. The egg still could create a backdraft from this and explode.
