[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1946437, member: 38154"] When we go to Chama New Mexico every year, there is a train station that the Cumbres & Toltec train stops at. There are tons of coal piled up there, since the train uses it for fuel. Occasionally we are in town when the train starts up or arrives, and if you catch a whiff of the smoke from the coal burning locomotive, it is quite strong, and reminds me of burning creosote. Not sure if they are using the same coal for fuel that you would be using. I understand there are two types basically, anthracite which is hard coal, and bituminous which is soft. Might make a difference in which is better for your application, or even which one is readily available. I think it is more of a mess to handle than firewood leaving your hands dirtier than if you had just handled a chunk of firewood instead. How would you buy the coal, by the bag or have a pile dumped in your back yard?? Seems it would be easier to find someone to cut and deliver a pile of firewood than have a load of coal delivered and stored. [/QUOTE]
