Amen and so mote it be! Simply amazing how well anthracite heats. Single digits outside and 70-72 inside. The colder it is the better it burns!

Amen to that. Toasty warm and no outlandish propane, oil, or elec bills to pay. Both my son & daughter are slaves to heat pump systems that can't keep them warm in these frigid temps even w/ their emer. heat on. My son paid as much in elec. for the month of Nov. as I will have paid for my entire season of heat...and that includes all my hot water! Always say that the best/smartest thing I've done was switching to coal...next best thing was building my garage!
I got bored the other day and figured out what it would have cost me in oil...
This is just using btu's, not worry about efficiency differences, etc.
I was burning 80lb a day, roughly 1.2M btus. Total cost $8
To make that in oil I would have been paying around $36/ day at $4/gal.
Glad I dumped oil a few years back.

4 degrees here. Brrrrr! I hope this is the last single digit temperature we see until next winter! Schlepped 3/4 ton from the coal pile to the covered bin under the deck, yesterday. Dance, little blue ladies,...dance!
Minus 4 in Girardville Pa this morning. 70 inside with the little Leisure Line Econo1 cranking almost at max burning a mixture of rice and buck.

It's been in the negative numbers every morning this week and I wake to a house that is 70 and the wife and kid are sitting near the stove where it is 75*-80* and 15" of white stuff is coming tomorrow, people will loose power and I wish them well, but I have done my part to keep my family warm without the grid, praise god and pass the anthracite!

I'm grateful for coal. Without it, I would be making a propane payment instead of taking my daughter to Splash Lagoon for her 11th birthday...
