yep - toasty is nice. Hope you can stay toasty this winter PJD. Maybe a small Chubby installed if a warm spot is needed?

Thinking I'm going to do resistance radiant floor heat in the bathrooms, I hate cold tiles....
Everyone get their coal for the year or do you have an overstock from last year due to the warm winter?
I bought a ton off of PJ Diesel last year and I had a 1/4 ton. I still have the ton left over. Has not been cold enough yet to start her up, but I do have the wood stove in the basement on low today.
Anybody know anything about Surdiac Coal Stoves? I found one that I am interested in. It is used and they only want $100, they say it works fine. I know they aren't made anymore. How hard would this thing be to hook up myself? Dumb idea? Should I just call an expert and not burn my home down?
Have you had a chance to cull through nepacrossroads.com? There are 1680 posts about Surdiac stoves. There may be some regarding the specific model that you are looking at.
I know this is an old thread, however I am thinking about a coal stove for the house.
The house is about 1200 square ft and I currently use oil and wood.
I am to the point that I don't think I want to keep cutting wood when coal will give me more heat per load for a little less in price. Plus less work on my part as I age.
Any thought on places that sell stoves close to Carroll County? Also place to buy coal?
Is it dangerous to mix a small amount of coal in with wood using wood stove?
Makanik, Where are the coal mines you speak of. A friend of mine just bought a house with a coal stove and is working on the small amount of coal that was left in the bin. We are going to make a trip in the next two weeks to get three ton and are in search of the best place to get it. He has been told head to West VA for the best prices but it is a hike at about 4 hours. Any advice on low price coal suppliers would be appreciated.
