Is there a reason you want these dimensions? Not sure of your grate size, but most of those stoves work fine with nut or stove. Any benefits you may think huge chunks will provide, will probably be offset by other variables or restrictions. Course, if your burning bit coal, maybe that'll be a different story.

I wonder if a couple of chunks of anthracite that large will even burn well in a potbelly stove ????
Only time I've seen coal that big burn in a small space is a friend's father used to burn single chunks of canal coal about that same "split log" size in the fire place. And, that was some very yellow flame, oily, smoky stuff !
