Marly -

    I also use charcoal blocks. I find it's easy to place solder
    pallions on the dark surface, then find them again just before the
    torch is lit. If you do this too, be aware that it may be hard to
    find your solder from now on. I know my eyes are not as good as they
    used to be, but even with my glasses I can't find the solder on a
    light-colored board. 

Good luck on your search,
Kelley
