I grew up with coal. We heated our house with it and cooked with it. It's by far the best fuel. Puts out a lot more heat than wood and a good bed of glowing coal will keep you warm through the night without having to get up to stoke it. From the shiny appearance I'd say this is anthracite not bituminous. Brings back warm memories, no pun intended

Must be the first day that young man ever shoveled coal and the coalman should’ve had the chute on the center brace and shot the coal straight to the back then worked it back towards the truck. Looks like a quality pea or rice coal though.

My HOA would lose their minds!!! LMAO

@sokodad, As far as I know, stokers run on rice. A stoker stove/furnace has some type of stoker mechanism that feeds fresh coal to a burning fire at a feed rate set by the user. The coal stoker stove operates on much the same principle as the pellet stove. The user must keep the hopper filled with coal and the ash pan empty and the coal stoker stove will run continuously.

I burn reading anthracite rice coal in a Reading Lehigh Stoker(cast iron stove). Controlled by Coal-Trol Digital thermostat. Heating a 1350 sq.ft.house in Pocono Mtns. in Pa. Ashes not a problem, remove every 3-4 days . Much better than wood, this burns continuous as long as hopper is kept filled. I use about just over a ton per year.

$200/ton is the price with delivery. It's about $160 - $185 for house calls.

that's great I know people who still use coal only we go into the old mines to get it.

Wish I had a coal furnace, once our stupid electrical heating went out in a power outage and my family was left cold and eating cold food for 3 days, it got down to 36 degrees in the house while it was 16 outside.

i used to climb down in the shanty and shovel it around just like that kid back in 1960s and 70s

Anyone have a suggestion. I've narrowed the coal stove hunt down to 2. The Reading "Pine Model" or the Chubby Coal Stove thanks.

Can this be run in a normal stoker or is it too fine? I have saw rice coal furnaces or stoves on the internet, but haven't checked on whether it'll burn in a regular stoker furnace.

What model stoker do you use? Any that can remove the ash automatically?

I apologize, I was asking if the coal that was delivered, if it is 4 mesh or larger in size.

Im noticing a problem with this delivery..... It is in your bin and not mine, lol

@Wallabydam I filled it over the Summer, it was $180 a ton and it is Anthracite..

You said "It's my first load" LOL!

4 mesh or larger?

So when you came for a refill how low can you get it go before ordering again. I would want the winter supply in the bin prior to winter and you can' wait until you run out completely. So the bin is too small.

It depends on the house and other variables. For my house, it's more than enough. It's very efficient, and once the coal furnace hits idle, I don't need to refill the hopper for at least three days...many times, more. I take out the ashes every other day and it's only half full. Thank you for your comment!

What is the size of your bin it looks like 4ft tall x 8ft long how wide. And how much more room did you need for 3 ton of coal

@bernincoal1

Hi Milton, Yes, it's 4X8 and I think it's 3ft wide. (inside diameter) When I get a chance, I'll measure to make sure. And 3 tons fits in my bin. It may leave a little bump on top so the cover can't fully close, it may leave a 4 inch gap, but that doesn't bother me. Coal doesn't go bad. Hope that helped. :)

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I'm thinking of getting a coal stove. How much does 3 tons of rice coal cost incl. delivery? How long does it last? (Does it last all winter)? Any recommendations on what coal stove to buy? Thank you and Let's MAGA.

Hello, fellow Patriot! The most important question. Is coal readily available in your area? IOW, do you live in coal country? If not, coal will be much more expensive. It might not be cost effective. Where I am, it cost me $160 a ton. There's also many variables in which if coal is right for you. I highly recommend to go to coalpail.com/coal-forum/ That site is all about coal, stoves, furnaces and etc. Depending what your needs are and where to install one, has to be well planned. That site is a fountain of info. That's where I learned a lot. Hope this helps and MAGA!

This is RICE coal correct? And can you use rice coal in a stove that was prior used as just a coal stove only? Thanks.

I don't see why not. But, depending on the stove, you can probably using bigger coal like Buck. Rice is perfect for automatic coal stoves and furnaces. NOTE: Have the stove and chimney checked by a licensed specialist FIRST.

I love the idea of heating with coal, especially overnight, but what do you do with your coal ash? I heard that wood ash is actually good for soil, and can even be used as a fertilizer over a garden, tossed lightly over snow, and added to the soil slowly as the snow melts, with lots of dilution, from the water from the snow. Thoughts?

Hello, I have a large backyard area where I dump the ashes. Unlike wood ashes, coal ashes are gritty. They don't 'melt' into the soil like wood. They're visible. Something to consider if you don't have a place to put them.

I scoop it out with a small bucket when it's top full. When the level gets lower, I remove 1x4 pressure treated slots and have access there. There are 8 slots and as the coal goes lower, I can reach it easily. There's tons of vids on bins. Another great place is coalpail dot com.

Doesn't it get wet and burns worse (with more bad emissions too) when it is stored outside?

@bernincoal1

5 жыл бұрын

Absolutely not. In fact, most store it outside. Many just don't have the room to store it inside. Being wet doesn't burn worse because by the time it reaches the fire plate, all moister has evaporated. Also, it's delivered wet. To keep down dust. Water has no effect on coal performance Think about it. Coal is millions of years old. About emissions. Anthracite coal (what I use) is way cleaner than Bituminous and is at par of gas/propane emissions. Tree huggers want to demonize coal as this horrible to the planet monster, when in fact animal dung is THE #1 pollutant. These are the same people that own fossil fuel powered vehicles. If they care so much, then THEY should set the example and give up all their 'dirty' contributers. Purely hypocritical, don't you think?

Is there a potential problem with spontaneous combustion with this much coal in one place?

@bernincoal1

9 жыл бұрын

Absolutely not. Coal needs extreme heat to get it going. For example, one way to start the coal is by using a small blow torch.....and THAT takes 5-7 minutes before the coal can heat to operating temps. I can leave the coal in the bin forever and nothing will happen. No problem. Thank you for your question. :)

It's over built. I don't have that problem. The coal is contained by the inner walls. If you look at the vid again, you'll see sheathing inside. So, it's inner wall, 2X4 and outer wall. The down side to this is that I lose 4 inches of space all around because the sheathing is covering the 2X4. The up side is that there's no risk of the outer walls bulging and makes for a much stronger bin.

The problem in the U.S is that firewood companies have to buy their wood from private land which drives up the price a lot. Here In Canada we get all our wood off Public land that has no owner so its dirt cheap. You may have recently heard about the soft wood dispute between the U.S and Canada. The issue being that Canadian logging companies get basically free timber where as American companies have to buy their wood for a high stump price. Its impossible for American companies to compete with free wood hence the current dispute.

@olleybear

6 жыл бұрын

Wasnt aware Canadian logging companies could go onto public lands and cut down trees like that, nor was I aware there was a trade dispute due to the wood being free except for the cost of chopping down and processing the trees. That explains the extremely cheap price per cord in Canada. So Canadians havnt run out of trees yet? :-)
