Green Flames
By: coaldigger On: Thu Jan 28, 2010 2:48 pm
I just got picked up 1 ton of rice from Stockton Anthracite in Hazleton, looks good very dark black shinny hard and clean with low ash. The only thing I noticed is it burns with a blue flame at idle but green at higher rates. From what I read green flames is a sign of lower quality coal is this true? Does most coal from Hazleton area do this like Jeddo or Hazleton Shaft?

The different flame color is probably the result of a different mix/level of volitiles in the coal. e.g. sulfur, copper, etc. That said, I would let the ash pan and stove thermometer be your guide on the quality of the coal.
