Coal

When I think of burning coal I think of the movie A Christmas Story.

Heated with coal in the 90's and loved the consistent heat and extended burn times. I hauled it myself and used 3-5 Tons a year @ $52 per Ton. Beat the hell out of burning spruce. I did lose my eyebrows several times until I figured out how coal gassing worked. Fun Times!

Tractor Supply in my area sells coal in bags, I bought one bag last year to test burn in my wood furnace. I was not impressed and most likely will never buy coal again.

There is a learning curve to heating with coal. Between hard and soft coal and then the multitude of sizes depending on the appliance it is being used in.
Within the coal burner community being a one match user for the season is a bragging point.
