I&#8217;ve been veery careful to try to keep my coal-burning activities limited to places with great ventilation (even if they&#8217;re underground) because I know ultimately the smoke from this stuff will kill me. Ultimately, not having a source of fire right now will kill me faster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day822.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3750\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day822.png?resize=525%2C328&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A two-block-wide cliff with six blocks of coal visible in the floor.
