The Coal Holder: What It Does The Coal Holder is a revolutionary new way to contain and transport hot coals from one location to another. Previous to its invention there was only one way to transport hot coals, with your hands. As can be imagined this was an ineffectual and often unsafe method and the hot coal transportation business quickly went extinct. The Coal Holder consists of a square box with two handles protruding at right angles from the sides. The handles have rounded ends to reduce injury of the operator. The Coal Holder will be available in most retail stores by the year 2025.
