Every year I get the company I got the stove from to clean out the stove and make sure it’s running okay. Coal has gone up a bit this year but it was still about $620 for a ton and a half of coal and that will last me the whole winter. So I couldn’t imagine paying for electric heat to the UGI bastards

Does your place have a coal cellar?

I have a big wooden coal keeper out near my shed I bought off Facebook marketplace for like $60. It has a troff thing that I open into a bucket and carry it into a house. Probably fill up the stove every 3 days while it’s this cold

OK, where I grew up, many people used coal and had that separate walled off space near the coal furnace to store coal.
