Guy told us not to stand directly over the slab because the heat coming off of it would melt your shoes! And this was on a catwalk 10 feet over top of the slab. BOP shop was cool too, where they inject oxygen into the mix for some reason that escapes me now.

Did you get to check out Clairton Coke Works? The coke batteries look like hell on the inside, nothing but yellow hot ceramic bricks lining it. One of the engineers threw his glove on top of a Slab when it came out the oven after i asked him how hot, it didn’t burn or smoke, it just went _poof_
