Re: Model A Charcoal Heaters
I have seen those on ebay from time to time. I almost bought one just for display. Wouldn't think they would be too safe in a enclosed car.

Is this the kind you were looking for? On ebay now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-FOO...0eZT:rk:2:pf:0 Looks like there are 4 or 5 more.

Re: Model A Charcoal Heaters
The type posted in #5 ive seen a lot of at swap meets. Usually sell for up to $10. Fill the little drawer with embers out of the coal or wood stove. Would produce quite a bit of heat.

Re: Model A Charcoal Heaters
Thought I read somewhere that Henry was the 1st to commercialize charcoal. Something about it was to make a profit of the byproducts of producing the T/A?

Re: Model A Charcoal Heaters
According to the text on the side of the bag, these Ford briquets can be used for "charcoal heaters" as well:
