[Public-List] About those woodstoves

[Rod Symmes]

J.   -  see if you can find a blacksmith that still uses coal.  I would guess that he buys it by the bag.

Cheers,    Rod

  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.
