i am wondering if anyone has or had a warm morning wood/coal stove? I have the offer to get a warm morning stove but I never heard of this company or brand the model is in the 400's. I will be burning coal in it, is it a stove worth getting or should I stay away from it? I appreciate the help

i have read that those stoves burn bit. better than anthracite is that true or only personal thoughts? do you know what parts might still be available ? how do those stoves hold up over the years? the reason I ask is that I have a fairly new Harman mark three right now and would it be worth my while to get this warm morning and do away with the harman?

I've also read that these stoves burn bit better then anthracite and I believe it because everything I've read (novels) which reference the Warm Morning stove have been based in the coal fields of West Virginia which is bit coal. If fact one book states that the "Company" supplied a Warm Morning Stove in every company house and provided free coal. I was surprised to read on the Forum of individuals using the Warm Morning stove to burn anthracite.

I also vaguely remember reading a Forum posting that the Warm Morning Company had gone out of business but parts were still available. You should check the archives. My personal opinion is that unless bit coal is more readily available and vastly cheaper you will be happier with a stove that was designed to burn anthracite – like the Harmon. And unless you live in a rural area so will your neighbors. Lisa

the going out of business I did hear that was back in 1983, the bit coal is no available to me t is only anth. so I think is is safe to say that I will stick with the Harman I appreciate all the help
