Having to light the coal fire first thing in the morning or you had no heat.
Cleaning the grate out, kindling,screwing up newspaper and arranging the coal. then putting the shovel up against it with a newspaper in front of it to get it going. If you weren't careful it set on fire! (We had bigger newspapers then!)
