Show Us Your Assshhh!

Okay guys, let's have a little fun while learning a bit about the different asH (with an H) results. No bikini pics, please!

Please include the Brand of coal, Size of coal, Hand fired or Stoker, Anthracite or Bituminous, Consistency (caked, flaky, powdered etc), color, how long to get the volume, and anything you think can be helpful for us all to compare our results.

I'll go first.

Reading Buckwheat anthracite in Keystoker KA-6. White, loose to powdery with minimal caking that easily crumbles when handled, after about 36hrs.
Seems like a fairly complete burn and decent coal. Any opinions?

With temps below zero most mornings the Vigilant has no problem extracting heat and leaving a nice "ash behind!" This is TSC Kimmels, mostly gray with a pink hue.

I'll play lol.

Lehigh pea sized anthracite. 3.5 days. Couple decent clinkers as usual. Good red ash coal.

Heating 1,750 square foot concrete slab in the garage via 1800' 1/2" pex, and 1,000 square feet above grade in the house to 73, and tha basement of the house to 68. House is old 1.25 finned steel pipe hot water baseboard. Bucket is about 2/3 full.

Mike, that looks so much like the ash from my boiler that I don't need to take pictures.

Lehigh rice burned in my EFM.

Here is a comparission between Blaschak Chestnut from my handfired Harman SF3500 and Blaschak Hard Rice from my Yellow Flame stoker boiler.

The Chestnut was about 50 pounds burned and the Rice about 50 pounds burned.

The handfired chestnut is mostly light and fluffy. A few clinkers. 1 day worth. The stoker Rice is granola like with some black in it. It's a bit heavy to. 1 day worth. Side by side on the ash pile. Here is about 85 pounds of Medium Buckwheat burned. 2 days worth. Lots of black and red, very heavy. 35 pounds of ash. -Don
