I didn't know there was anyplace in the world that still makes ornate stoves. I stumbled on to this web site searching for info on a Leda coal stove. They refer to "brown coal". I assume that it is soft coal; and that it is burned in the same fashion as wood? They have a very interesting line-up of stoves. What do you suppose the shipping would be from Bulgaria?

Very nice stove Body H. Don't know the quality of Bulgar products. I have a friend near here coming from Bulgarie and I will talk about that as soon as I see her.
Thanks for the post.

That Baroque design is right out of the 1850's. The brown coal they were refering to is Lignite. Lignite is a sub bituminous coal that burns with a much lower heat value and lots and lots of smoke. The United States has vast deposits of Lignite.

Thanks William. I'd be curious if that stove pictured would have shaker grates. Hard to tell from the pic. Do you use a shaker type grate when burning that form of coal?

Yep you do but usually not as agressive a shaker as you'll see for hard coal. The lignite coal is just a step above burning dried peat out of the bogs! It's used mostly to make electricily but in the EU they compress it into briquets to get better heat out of it for home heating.

For ease of operation and efficient combustion of Anthracite Coal, nothing beats an American built Base Heater. As far as the type of grate designs for Lignite, I know that the Northern Pacific used Lignite in their locomotives. It was called, "Rosebud Coal." The grates for this purpose were flat plates with small holes in them for primary air. The fireboxes had over fire secondary air inlets as well.

Hi , The stove you are looking at is a reproduction of a stove manufactured by the Colombian stove works in bonnybridge falkirk Scotland circa 1860. I have been onto the company about my own stove which was manufactured from that period , but because it is so long ago they could only find this stove which is similar to mine . Regards wal
