[QUOTE="powerstroke73L, post: 1349430, member: 29843"] My Englander 28-3500 has an underfire air control so I'm going to buy a ton of bituminous coal (about $90) and shovel it into brown paper bags from the grocery store 10lbs at a time. Englander recommends adding coal on top of wood after its good and charred as it will add additional hours to the burn cycle (I've yet to see how many), the idea being that the coal will just be getting started as the wood begins to die. As long as I can have a solid bed of coals when the wife gets home around 3:00 she'll be able to simply toss in a bag of coal and open the underfire air. Then when I get home at 7:00 there should still be a pretty good fire going that I can add some good size splits to. At a rate of 10lbs a day (maybe 20lbs on weekend days) a ton will last me an entire season and then some. [/QUOTE]
