Burning Coal simple and easy. More BTU's than oil, gas, or wood. Heat and cooking ability during prolonged power outage. Grid Free Heat. What is the best alternative fuel? Coal is the best fuel because it never rots or spoils and Anthracite burns clean! The more options you have to heat your home the better you are. I can heat with coal, wood, oil, or electric.
The best resource for questions regarding heating with coal can be found at coalpail.com. There is a forum there where coal enthusiasts are eager to help and share their tips.

Burnt coal for years..loved it.,clean , safe, and throws massive heat..I would shake it down twice a day and maybe put coal in once a day…

Coal pail is a great forum. I have a stoker which has a few mechanical and electrical parts which sometimes malfunction. People on there are very helpful if you have questions.

I just use a stand-up Hitzer 55, which works great. I use 3 kinds of fuel every day when I'm home. Throughout daylight hours I occasionally throw in cheap dry ugly firewood of any kind that I source for almost free. After dark I throw in a little sub-bit coal to get that started, then a main charge of it a little later which burns most of the night. Then around 5 am when the coal has burned down so it's not throwing off much heat, a separate little gas furnace kicks in for a couple hours until I wake up for breakfast. Obviously I could choose to burn any fuel exclusively if I wanted to or had to, but when it gets really cold I'll increase the percentage of coal a lot.

I load mine through the front door. Interesting to see the way you do it. I'm in a 2600 square foot house and this stove does an amazing job at maintaining temperature. I don't nearly use that much coal unless it under 10 degrees.

As a boy growing up in NYC coal ash, as well as incinerated trash and garbage were used on the streets and sidewalk in winter for foot traction. Today in nearly all areas of the Northeast this is considered a hazard. That said, I still use coal ash on my steep driveway to get my vehicles in and out.

currently i heat with rice anthracite and use a keystoker 90K. i just love the reliability and simplicity of coal heating. a modern natural gas furnace is stuffed full of un-reliable electronics. as soon as the damn thing breaks your calling the HVAC guy. with all of this ridicilous climate alarmist BS.... the governor in my state thinks she's going to force everyone to buy electric cars, heat with electric, cook with electric, heat hot water with and even poop with it (kidding).

What kind of grate is the coal on? What kind of metal can withstand that long term intense heat? We have a wood earth stove. Can we use coal if we had the right grate?

Bud’s Soil in Fond du Lac WI has 50# bags of Kimmel nut size. Are you using nut or stove size Anthracite?

With the high prices of coal, do you think you're saving $? I'm burning wood but plan on burning coal when in single digits or low teens for the high. Just wondering what you're thoughts were on your future of burning coal. Thanks
