35 degrees here, 'leaf peepers' are in caravans and convoys, scenic buses are everywhere and you are talking about spring?????????????????????? Ready? Hell yes! Born ready.....as they say! Fresh cider, homemade donuts, fall's beauty....bring on winter. Just call the fine folks in NEPA and get the coal delivery locked in, if you haven't already!
Remember all those pretty red leaves might not be Maple leaves....poison ivy and sumac are a brilliant shade this time of year also.

I bought a bag of pea and nut to try out. The dealer told me his friend with the same stove was using stove coal!!! I think that would be too big.freetown fred wrote:I googled sf150 in top rgt. corner & only saw 2 posts about what TYPE of coal---both were useing PEA-COAL w/ good results
