The coking chamber of a by-product coke oven is formed by a refractory enclosure provided in its top with a charging opening and with an outlet for volatile by-products produced in the coking operation. Forming the bottom of the chamber near the bottom wall of the enclosure, but spaced above it, is a high temperature resistant metal sole plate, beneath which are electric resistance elements for heating the plate directly in order to coke coal supported by the plate. Opposite sides of the lower part of the chamber may also be formed by electrically heated plates.
