do you burn big chunks of coal

i was told the bigger the better

for a long hot burn

[Scott7m]

Size dont matter much, coal quality is day and night different

I like chunks...grapefruit to basketball size.

I prefer the nut size....I've tried the stove size, but it seems to be of less quality resulting in more sea shells.

Just read through this thread for the first time...good info.  I'm still burnin Anthracite with my wood when I desire longer burn cycles.  I went out of town for New Years and new I wouldn't be around to fill the stove...and didn't want the baby sitter messing with it...So I loaded it with a lot of coal and filled the rest of the box with wood.  This was at noon on New years eve when we left....I got home yesterday at about 5PM....My stove temp was just starting to drop below my low temp number, 29 hours after I loaded it.... And that's with the house at 70 throughout and my circlulator pump running 24-7....I love coal.

What are your settings?

Does anyone know of a bulk supplier in the Connecticut/Western Mass area.

vinrum, check out the nepacrossroads.com forum. That is a coal burning forum with a lot of smart guys and a lot of people around the northeast. Should be able to find out a good supplier where ever you are.
