Over the years I’ve collected two full buckets of coal dust from the floor of the coal shed. What can I do with it (in terms of burning it!)? Just chucking it on the fire doesn’t do much. I feel I need to mix it with something to make solid bricks perhaps?

Do you know any pregnant women who could sprinkle it on their cereal?

No, afraid not 🙂

Do this

Put on a Black and White mistrals show ?

Bregante, is that perhaps a suggestion to not just chuck shovels full onto a hot fire? Might clear out the chimney?

Primo suggestions seem to be either put a scoop onto some newspaper and screw up into tight ball and burn, or fill old big roll tubes with it and burn.

Rub it on your face, curse Thatcher in a Geordie accent and pretend you’re a miner?

Join a Border Morris side, it’s part of the tradition to black their faces, started during the miner’s strikes, so it would be appropriate:

Personally I would wrap it in a bin liner and chuck it.
If you do decide to use it by mixing it or wrapping, remember to wear a fp3 graded mask, it’s carcegenic.
When I’m sweeping I always have my mask on.

It’s not soot, it’s dust off the coal. Mixing it with wall paper paste then pouring it into flower pots to make briquettes seems to be the favourite way of burning it.
