Slag vs. Pig Iron???

So how did that get to Atsion. Somehow I think there was something wrong with that survey.

It isn't conclusive that the two pieces of slag are the same. Nat Ewan took the photo, and I am sure that he did not get Batsto and Atsion confused.

Well, they are without a doubt the same piece, so either they moved it to Atsion, or Nate had a brain freeze.

dunno, the "Atsion Stove" which is similar in build to the one in the Crosswicks Friends Meeting house, is stamped Batsto Furnace on the side, so there appears to be some confusion.

I'm willing to bet the stove was physically located in Atsion, but was made at Batsto, hence the casting.
