My stove burns wood or coal. I've burned both over the years. Since 2010 I have pretty much been burning coal. Just all around easier. I'm 68.

Fired up with wood a couple days ago, but will be switching to coal after the weekend. Took this one about a half hour to re-discover her winter spot.

I've had some in my stove that have a crack but have not fallen apart. The stove is coming up on 30 years and I haven't replaced a brick. All is well so far.

Anthracite does, but not bituminous. I burn anthracite, good stuff. Glad the OP got resolution.

What I use, and it was free. The soapstone seems a little pricey for me for what it's purpose is.

That's one of the nice things about coal. Less tending to. Twice a day I will shake the ashes down, dump in a can outside, and refill. I have the coal stored outside so the black coal dust isn't a problem. It's the white dust from the ashes that needs to be tended too once in a while. A nice...

Start and finish the heating season with wood but anymore its back to coal heat for me. Some of Pennsylvannias best Anthracite. Kevin

I think it reminds me of Edvard Munch's, "The Scream":cool: Kevin

That's how it seemed every year for a while with me. I always ended up buying wood anyway, so eventually I ended up going back to coal to fill the void. My stove burns both so now I may go 75% coal / 25% wood. Less pressure to get up the woods and less beating on the body. I brought back the...

A solid option being you are in the heart of the anthracite coal region. Perhaps a stove that burns wood and coal. That's what I do anymore. Nice to have options. Not getting any younger and the wood gettin is a little tougher each year. I'll start and finish the season with wood and use the...

I've been using a bagster for two seasons now, but for a different kind of heat, coal. It will bulge out so that was a problem. it worked well for my purpose though and I bought a second one last year as i had coal delivered and had to get a minimum amount. Seems strong, but I thought I saw a...

I only burned about 2 full cords of wood........but I also went through 3 1/2 tons of coal in the same stove. I usually start and finish the burning season with wood anymore.

Keepers....they help with the firewooding. Kevin

Art has the best answer right there. Kevin

I burn some of Pennsylvannias finest. I burn wood in the shoulder seasons now. Started with 3 1/2 tons of coal on November 8th, and I'll be out of coal in about 3 or 4 days. Not too bad. I brought wood in the other day to dry it out and get ready for the switch. Kevin

Don't get me started.:confused: I was just thinking about that issue the other day when we got our one property tax bill. Vote Casino, lower your tax bill. What a bunch of crap.:blob2: Kevin

I'm almost out of coal for the season and will be switching back to wood probably before the weekend. It's nice to have options.;) Kevin

Yep, been burning coal since early November and should use that up by early March. Then I'll finish up with wood for the next few weeks. I'm in the heart of the Anthracite coal region of NE Pennsylvannia so the price isn't too bad. I'm probably 80/20 anymore Coal to wood. Kevin

This is how I do it. Cutting a path from my wood piles a few years back. and then there is Plan B if that breaksdown, but it hasn't yet....... and here's a firewood trip.... Kevin

I thought Bruno Mars did a good show. He was the host of Saturday Night Live a while back. Funny guy that didn't take himself to seriously. And the boys got talent. I'm 60 years old by the way.:clap: Kevin
