Your welcome

The system I'm installing now is very cheap and very basic. We have a yurt homestead in Mongolia. Our first winter we heated with electricity (underfloor) supplemented with wood stoves but it cost us a fortune in electricity. The wood stoves burn too quickly and we never figured out how to get a long burn. So this year we're installing a coal furnace and 4 radiators. The coal furnace is quite small but I'm assured it will be sufficient for our needs (2 yurt, a bathroom and insulated shipping container workshop. The coal furnace will be in a partition of another container. Total cost for parts and installation is US$2600. We spent more on electricity for the year. Coal is US$1 per bag (25kg, I believe). It's subsidized for residents and also on a quota system so we can get 6 bags per week and no more. But you can stockpile your quota in the shoulder months for the colder months. Our coldest months drop to -40C/F on the coldest nights. It's a lot more work for us. The feeding of coal and cleaning of ash is totally manual. As a bonus/backup we're having an electric heating element installed if we need to be away for a day or more so the heating will still work without using coal. It can use wood too but coal burns longer and hotter. Apparently, half to one bag a day is enough. We'll see. The important thing is we should break even in year 1 or 2 then save a lot. Compared to you we are very small. We have about 107 m/2 of heated area.

@@countrysideacreshomestead2008 the short answer is a woman. I married a Mongolian in 2010 and moved to Mongolia from London, UK a year later. I loved the country so much that I stayed even after breaking up. Now I'm with another Mongolian woman. The country life suits me well. It's lovely here yet harsh. Similar to the Canadian prairies or Rockies but probably colder. We're obsessed with survival in Winter and have multiple backups. Just in case.

Ya it worked good, we no longer live there but I'd assume it's still going

If that's a out door boiler just run Pex around the coal bunker and insulate the the whole thing then put on lagging. Nothing will ever freeze unless your power goes out and you run out of generator diesel.

As the owner of a dump truck and tractor / end dump trailer combo I would deliver the coal for $10/ton if you were 30 miles or less away from the coal yard but you’d be the one buying it. If you’re getting coal for $10/ton for the coal plus delivery then that coal yard is giving you coal for free.

Did you retrofit a stoker to an existing outdoor boiler? Great idea. Bet it burns nice and clean.

1 inch line can only transfer 75,000 BTUs so max output only 150,000 BTUs . I'm sure it could output alot more . If it had more lines or bigger water lines. Interesting system. Also check trench heat loss .

Perhaps consider enclosing the bottom of the coal silo. You'd be surprised how effective eliminating wind chill would solve the coal freeze problem.

We burn wood pellets some thing similar to that only only you don't hear them burning the pellets are blowing into a big upside tent thing there is no smoke from them they heat the under floor heating plus all the hot water that we want the pellet burner is inside the double garage and the big tent thing is in a out shed the pellets are a compresses sawdust about half inch diameter and about 1 inch long they are fed into the burner the same way as your coal

What a scam that is coal is to buy in Canada it’s only $60 a ton in Montana compared to double that in Canada the only way is bring an Indian with you and then you don’t have to pay the scam BS carbon tax and gst or move to Montana it’s cheaper and not a communist country like Canada.
