I Love Coal

I think that I have had my Hitzer about 14 years now, I do not remember ever using 80 lbs. of coal in 24 hours before. Normally we use 40 lbs. when it is in the teens or just above O°, but woke up yesterday morning to -18° and a high of 3° and this morning to -21°. But the house was still 68° in the morning, and it only cost me about $16.00, I love burning coal!!!

I think after 14 years of coal burning in a hitzer your user name is misleading....
you passed the stage of 'tryingitout' long ago!!

I had to laugh at the $16 comment because I do the same thing...i look at the pounds burned and figure at 11 cents per pound to come up with what it cost to keep warm for the night!

And I thought I was the only one who did that !!

We have the hometown advantage. Here in the middle of coal country its 9 cents a pound.

I cant wait till the wind calms down and it gets back above zero. I like to crack the window open just an inch or so. Especially when the oil truck pulls in to fill up the next door neighbor.

All I know is if my oil finance was running those same 24 hours, with the .83 gph nozzle at over $3.00 a gallon it would be way more the $16.00.

I have had my user name awhile, afraid if I change it now I might not remember the new one.
