This is my first experience burning coal in an OWB but so far it's been positive.
I came across a small load of stoker coal that was reasonable and have been mixing it with the wood and getting much longer burn time than the wood alone. My wood this year has apparently accumulated more moisture than I'd like, at times I don't think it wants to burn at all >:(
I searched things and saw where several members here have burned coal in the past so I was wondering how the results stack up.
This is bituminous coal and not the A1 grade at that but it makes heat which has been more for hot water this year than actually heating!
Weird season so far here. 75 degrees Friday and 26 degrees Saturday night!

I burned some bituminous coal several years ago in a grated unit. Mixed with wood and doubled my burn times.
Switched to all wood come spring to stay lit.
How do you burn stoker in a unit with no grates? (The hawken 1100)
