Hello all!
My name is obviously Bill! or backwoodbill well been interested in coal since I discovered my mind says lets go in the woods and harvest some fire wood but the body screams are ya nutz man! yeah health wont allow it anymore so the logical choice was coal I just will never hold with pellets well looked at and researched a lot of stoves and thought I would play it safe and go with a Harman mark series and the mark II fits my needs and my houses heating needs and all of you harman fans and a whole lot of you cannot be wrong I,am prepping for the fall of 2012 as of this spring I,am retired from major wood burning save starter fires I figure I will start with pea coal and have a supply also of nut coal so I can trade up if needed by the outside temps being in central Maine specifically the Bar Harbor area and experiment with those before I try stove and range coals and leaning the stoves behavior in my peticular installation its going to be interesting as I,am a retired applliance and refrigeration tech./instructor and its sure to take me down many irresistable self complicated roads just to try it because its there to try after all I will have to use up all that free time I will have from not having to load the wood firebox praise the coal gods ha! ha! yes! lol!!! well starting to get close to lecturing so I will spare you just a habit from teaching well I,am glad to be here and look foward to learning this time honored art thanks to all of you! God bless! till next time Bill!
