Dear Kenny,

In the past, a new charcoal stove is used until it becomes old.

Nowadays, it is only used to perform this action.

After performing this action, it is best to gather a few pieces of charcoal e.g. 3 pieces, wrap it up in red paper.

Note: the charcoal represents "gold" or wealth. Clean up the charcoal stove and place the charcoal on-top of it. the entire stove is kept inside a cabinet e.g. in the kitchen.

It (the charcoal stove) should not be thrown away or given away. Throwing it or giving it away especially to strangers is like giving away our wealth.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Must every family member be around for the move-in? If you are moving in on a weekday and family members need to go to school; common sense says that they may have to attend school. You can do the move - yourself.

For apartments in a condo or in car-parks; for those who are considering doing the "move-in" procedure with actual light-up of a traditional stove; do check that no smoke detectors are near-by if one lights up a stove that uses non-smokeless charcoal.

Charcoal is revered even displayed prominently in this Hong Kong style roast food court stall

Charcoal symbolises a valuable commodity.

And for such a restaurant.. they want to imply also that meat roasted in a charcoal stove normally gives off an added aroma not found in electric or gas fired stoves..

 

Quite rare to find charcoal stoves, today. 2020!

Recently, client was elated and sent me this photo.. of finding one..
 

Can’t recall which client sent this to my WhatsApp, now.

On 2 January 2021 - Traditional charcoal stove found, here.

 

Hi master Lee. Sorry to disturb you. Can I check with you. If I would want to use the charcoal stove on my move in day. Usually how are the procedure being perform?

Light it up the charcoals in front of my main gate, and then do I step over the charcoal stove or when it is lighted up, I just bring it in to my house?

Hi Master Lee, I was reading your forum, if I don't intend to light up the charcoal, I can wrap with red paper on each individual charcoal and fill it up in my charcoal stove and then bring it in. This way can also right? After bringing in to my house, I can keep it in my store room?
