What size did you buy. My buddy burns it in his shaver sometimes. He bought a couple tons of bagged buck. He has a hard time keeping it up in the firebox though because of the small size of it. He would have been much better off with atleast one size up.

Door, I burned coal last year with good results and am located in Ohio as well. If you don't mind me asking,  where did you buy the coal?

My buddy burns rice in his although he should really use buck or nut. The rice is to small and can fall down between the grates. He puts in two logs and a 50 pound bag ontop of that. He goes 30 hours in that.
