I am installing an add on wood boiler to my home system which is presently an Oil fired system. I very much want to burn coal instead of wood. The wood furnace I am installing is an energy-mate. Anyone ever heard of that brand? I can't seem to find any info on it and I think the company is out of business.
My furnace man told me is is a well built unit. Very heavy constructed. Now the question where can I get coal grates for it? This is a closed fire box with a blower fan that blows up from the bottom. I bought this unit and believe coal is the answer. Any suggestions? Any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to have any more $ 850 oil fill up this coming season.
Thanks in advance
