Nice stove

I noticed you said at the end of the video the stack temp was 200. I was surprised myself to see how different coal burns than wood - where coal stack temps are much lower than wood stoves - but with the same or better heat output of the stove. This means yor getting more heat where you want it rather than up the flu. Good vid thx for sharing.

@jjs777fzr Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching. Yes, coal burns with lower stack temperatures than wood. Coal burns at a steady, even rate. Not all coal stoves can run with stack temperatures this low. When the dampers are fully set. I can run the stove up to 700 degrees and have only a stack temperature of 115=120. A base heater like this one operates at well above 90 percent when running in base burner mode. Most direct draft coal stoves may at best get up to 70 percent.

Nice stove. Do you keep it in your basement? Do you have to go in through a bulk head to get to your basement every day? Does it just work better for you in a basement or do you have another stove upstairs????

Yes I burn Anthracite. It costs me about 45 cents a day to keep my house 70 degrees or warmer. I live in a place with long, cold winters. The bill for a heating season lasting over 8 months is about $800 bucks.

@wsherrick Sorry to be a pain with another question. Does burning coal make it very dirty (black dust) in the home? Is it real bad for your lungs? We burn wood now and I can't imagine it being much worse. My wife wanted me to ask anyway. Thanks again.

@neilvilleneuve I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply. Anthracite Coal is much, much cleaner and easier to use than wood is. The Glenwood is also designed to be clean. Anthracite makes no visible smoke, no stinking, dangerous creosote to cause chimney fires, no bark, dirt or mess from wet wood. Once you start using coal, the only thing you will regret is not finding out about it years ago. Free yourself from the slavery of tending a wood stove, get a coal stove and be done with it.

@wsherrick Hi, I live in NH (average winter temp is minus F during the night). My house is only 1000s sq ft. Would you recommend coal stove vs wood stove? Is the maintenance less with coal stove? How often would you fill it up (siince most of the time i'm almost out for >12 h during the day)? Lastly, what coal stove would your recommend?

I am sorry for these questions. It's just that I am paying so much for propane heating (>$300/mos) which is insane. Sori 4 too many questions but thanks

Do you use anthracite coal? How much do you spend per season on coal? Great video....thanks.
