Doing the "Eastern Kentucky Bit Shuffle" in Ohio !

I burned a lot of Kentucky coal on chain grate stokers (60,000 ton/year) our biggest concern(s) were BTU 14,000 min, no more than 6% ash and .9% or less on sulfur. If you can find those three things, nothing else matters.

Does anyone know if I can burn eastern Kentucky coal in my DS? Will Kentucky coal burn in a stove that was made for anthracite?

Not very well. If your stove has some provision for secondary air then it might work okay.

paisan you can but you would change the door and take the hopper out,i have the 1600 and burnt eastern kentucky coal all last winter with know trouble. I just got a ton of WV coal, I just burnt the first hand load of it had a few clickers something i hardly ever had with eastern kentucky what i did have the grates crunched up.
