Well, I am the ECOPUNK…I burn shudder Coal . Here is why,
BFEwhyomin has a huge abundance of this fuel. It is about $60 per ton at the tipple.
Time I get it home factor in another $20.00 a ton…total $80 a ton from the mine to the
stove. I do not have to seek deadfall in the forest and then cut it and remove chunks
to the truck, then split it , then stack it, then carry it into the house to burn.
All I do is shovel it on the truck, shovel it off the truck in a pile, bring a wheelbarrow
at at time into the garage as needed.
Then on the burn end, I just add to the previous embers (which last 2-3 DAYS) shake
the ashes out the bottom of the stove and dump em then go on about my buziness.
Lot less handling than wood and a lot more heat value per ton.
