[QUOTE="Rusty PW, post: 1946308, member: 98081"] I grew up with coal. My dad was a mine foreman. We heated the house with coal in south western Pa. For over night burning. Use the largest pieces. Takes longer to burn through. The smaller pieces for doing the day, when you are home to take care of it. Dump the ashes in your garden and spread them out, and till under. It's good fertilizer. Beware of coal dust. Throw small amounts in to use it up. But DO NOT throw a shovel full in. It's bye bye furnace worst case. When I was a kid. I threw in a shovel full and watched what happens with the furnace door open. When the dust ignited. It went with a BOOM. I walked up the steps from the basement, looked at my dad in his lazyboy. He was laughing so hard, I thought he pee'ed his pants. My mom looked at me, and started cussing my dad out. I had no hair on my face. The hair on my head was gone back behind my ears. And I was black faced. [/QUOTE]
