Belly of a Beast
This is a beautiful Coke burner oven. Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Cokes made from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is man-made.
Taken in train being renovated in a great little museum located in Hermeskeil, Germany.
