Got another short 3/4 ton (.66T) of pea coal today. They seem to be missing it this season ... maybe, because the coal is dry. ??
I made a kind of wooden funnel, so that I would have a little more flexibility with the chute. As it was, I had to get the truck in just about the right place, and even then, as the load lightened and the truck rose, I had to adjust the chute.
The coal is to the top of the first removable gate on the bin (2/3s full), so one more similar load, should fill it.
Notice the sled by the back door
I'm ready 
... unfortunately, that's there from last winter, when my niece was visiting with her kids.

Nice creative thinking Dallas. Now you just need a hat and some mittens and maybe a little snow and you'll be all set to go sledding.

Filing the scooper
By: Dallas On: Mon Sep 08, 2008 2:36 pm
Each full scoop is 16 pounds of coal. Just about the right amount for my stove.

To answer the "Big Question" of this thread, I don't know what cured the draft problems with my stove and chimney. It could be a combination of little things or maybe it took some "burning" to cure the chimney. .... After being built for 10 years 
It seems to work good now. 
Here is an index of some of the projects, which I undertook along the way. Some may be on more than one page.
Return air: Really temperamental stove/draft !! Eventually, this got extended clear back to the stove room. Also, I included a duct fan into the return.
Outside air source: Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Ceiling circulation fan: Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Stove plenum: Really temperamental stove/draft !! and Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Coal Scooper: It's time for me to "Clean up my act"! and Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Chimney extension: Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Coal chute: Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Stove modification: Really temperamental stove/draft !!
Coal bin: Really temperamental stove/draft !! and Really temperamental stove/draft !! and COAL BIN Pics and COAL BIN Pics
Thermostat controlled hand fired: How do you feel about a thermostat controlled hand fired?
