Art, Thanks for the heads up on Tractor Supply and the Ant coal, however they just sold out this afternoon but the mgr said he would try to order a new order from the dealer but could not assure me that they would get anymore in---will call me back next week to let me know if they will be able to get it.  It's kimmel not nut size ant 50 lbs / bag $237 /ton--- a really good price I think.  Don

Don, Where are you located? Is anthacite available to you?

Dave, Have you tried bigger stove size? I have found the mix works really well. I have used mixed stove and nut ant but prefer the mix with bit for relights. My diff is set at 2°.

Yeah I have tried bigger lumps. I had trouble with recovery time with the bigger lumps though. I found that keeping my diff at 5 or less and load with coal I see best results. Its nice with how it works for me. I can go back out 6hrs later, stir the coal around and have a nice glowing bed. I then shake all that ash it produces add more coal and a few pcs of wood and shes good for at least 20hrs +/-. I have even burned straight coal and had good succes with that as well.
