Re: Ive had enough, I want to go home :(
We wanted a similar thing here but couldn't find one and also had problems finding coal...in PA!. The few places that did sell coal didn't deliver and we had no way of moving large quantities.
We bought a wood burning stove and it's OK but not as hot and I feel as though I am always throwing more wood on.

In the UK we had a cast iron coal burning stove. We lit it in Oct and it didn't go out until the Spring. It was fantastic.

I think it seems like we are always throwing logs on because we only put coal on the UK stove twice a day.
We have just had a locust tree chopped down so, once the wood has seasoned, we have a whole tree to burn!

That's a pretty good dense wood if it's a black locust. Hickory I think is one if not the top one for denseness.

This is the best site I have found with a TON of information on pellet/corn/wood and coal burning. It also has a huge datbase of questions/answers and links to everything imaginable having to do with stoves/fireplaces. http://www.hearth.com/
EDIT: This looks like a relevant wood/coal thread in the forum there: http://www.hearth.com/econtent/index...ewthread/7903/
