Hello All,
I am conducting a survey for use in a business plan I am writing. The plan will be used to apply for Govt. grants and loans to open a store selling coal stoves and related products.
The info I am requesting:
1. What is your average monthly use of Anthracite coal.
2. What is the BTU rating of the coal burning appliance?
3. Is your home insulated or not?
4. What is the square footage of the home?
5. Where are you located?
I appreciate any help to those who volunteer their information.
Take care
Neal

Oh Waldo, don't be such a conspiracy theorist. I have been on this site a long time. Check my posts.waldo lemieux wrote:Methinks this is an epa plot to get a database started for the confiscation of your coal burning appliance.... don't believe it?

The reason I ask for location is so that I can look up the average temperatures for the region each person is located in.
