I'm going through about the same amount of coal with my stoker boiler, as I did with the HITZER 50-93. Maybe even about 1/2 ton less with the stoker boiler. With the boiler, I'm putting the heat exactly where I want it. With the coal stove, I was heating the basement, in order to heat the up stairs. My place is the exact same temperature throughout useing the boiler. Very comfortable, and no fan noise. The hydronic heat is NICE, but the INSTALL is expensive. I'm very happy I made the move from coal stove, to central hot water heat. Oliver
