[Public-List] About those woodstoves

[J Bergquist]

George-

Any idea where a body could procure coal? It would seem like it should
not be that difficult seeing as they ship the stuff around by the
shipload, but I can't find a way to walk into a store and purchase a
bag of it.

I'd be real interested in trying it in my woodstove. In particular, I
am a fan of the burn-all-night aspect.

Any advice much appreciated.
