    Very good info CJ . I buythose small bags of self lighting charcoal, throw in the bag and all and light it. When it gets red add the coal. I only light my stove once a year. If ya plan on burning much coal it’s a lot cheaper to buy in bulk.

      Yeah Dave I've heard of people using charcoal to get it going 🔥👍. With the way prices are I hope I never have to burn just coal lol

    I'm sure you have all heard of the old adage 'It's like taking coals to Newcastle' ....Smokeless fuel has almost doubled in price in a year here in Newcastle, who'd a thunk it 🤷‍♀️!.
    I am placing on individual pieces of coal as if flower arranging!🙈🤣. Keep warm n cosy. 🥰

    I paid $280 a ton for the same coal, all I do is get a wood fire going and throw a 40 lb bag on. Works well only difference is my DS is for hot water.
    A lot of everything you do I find myself relating too. Just wish I took a better look at LS tractors before i bought my bobcat.

    Interesting how much more work this stove requires...and it's A LOT by comparison. Not being able to get a 12 hour burn would be a deal breaker.

  • @andrewseamans1419
    @andrewseamans1419 Год назад +2

    Dont be afraid to bank that coal up as high as the fire brick in the back. Should give you good long times. Do you shake and tend or let it go out every time?

    Im from eastern Ky and have been around coal all my life but know very little about it. But I know there are coal seams all over the place and it would be fairly easy to get coal for free to heat with. But I wonder if that type of coal would work in a stove like this???

    • @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse
      @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse  Год назад +2

      We have a lot of coal around here too (I used to be a coal miner), but it's all bituminous coal. I'm sure it would work, but for me I specifically want to burn anthracite because it makes no smoke and no creosote.

    • @andrewseamans1419
      @andrewseamans1419 Год назад +2

      Bit Coal will work with a DS. From what I'm told it's allot dirtier and needs to be broken up from time to time. Anthracite is the way to go for long burns. Bit is downright cheap though. I think If i had it nearby I'd try burning it.

    • @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse
      @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse  Год назад +1

    • @DanielBelzil
      @DanielBelzil 9 месяцев назад

      Bituminous coal is very cheap but it does not necessarily burn as cleanly as anthracite. It is also kinda dirty to handle. There are only a few stove companies that are supposedly able to burn bituminous coal. Hitzer is one of them.

    Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. We live in the mountains of Mongolia which is one of the coldest inhabitable places on Earth. We burn semi-coke briquettes which is the only legal coal product we're allowed to buy. I think it's subsidized by the government and also rationed. We pay roughly $1 per 25kg (55lb) bag. We can buy 7 bags per week. This is more than enough for our camp. We some connected yurts and a couple of out buildings (well house, insulated container workshop). Our furnace is a boiler and we heat with radiators with anti-freeze in the open system.
    It will be our first winter (2023) with this system. The previous winter we used electricity (underfloor and radiators) and it cost us a fortune. December's electric bill was $463. With semi-coke it should reduce our electric bill to $30-40 and our heating bill with semi-coke about $30. So we hope to pay for the system in 1 to 2 heating seasons.
    We also have backups of course. We have electric heating, propane space heaters and a wood stove in each yurt. We also have a diesel space heater. These are all just for emergencies and contingencies.

      In the mountains we can only get 4g because we are not too far away from the capital city but I've been signed up for Starlink for a couple of years which I hope will greatly improve our speeds. In the capital city, Ulaanbaatar the WIFI speeds are pretty good but we are country folk so we get limited options currently@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse

    What happens if it doesn’t lite? Do you have to empty and start all over?

    • @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse
      @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse  9 месяцев назад

      I don't empty it. I'll dig a spot in the center and try to use small pieces of wood to get it going. You just need those hot coals from wood. Then slowly add the coals back to it

    • @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse
      @Mallard5plus1Farmhouse  Год назад +4

      I agree Kevin. This is anthracite coal though which creates no smoke or creosote. I hear you can get bituminous coal for cheaper price but it makes smoke and stinks.

      When an anti fossil fuel democratic administration is in power, all fuel prices go up, and so does everything else. why? Cause everything is shipped by plane, truck, or boat. Guess what they all run on?
      diesel. See the price of diesel? Coal prices were so much cheaper, not long ago. When will the public get a clue? Coal out burns wood any day of the week, when done correctly. The host here will learn that soon.
