The smell of coal smoke meant heat, so it didn't seem that bad to me. Mark. March out back and cut some oak. Lol.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

You guys seeing smoke from coal must be burning bituminous. Anthracite produces zero visible smoke and no odor. I've been burning it for more than a decade. I love it. I'm sure there is something to this. I'm uneducated about coal. Bought a coal rated stove drove to the mine I was told would sell it to me got 3.8 ton on my flat bed trailer and drove it the 1.5 hrs home. Our mines are strip mines high sulfur I heard. No idea what it's called. Makes a green tint smoke my closest neighborhood and friends wife didn't like it with her breathing problem. And they are not real close to us. I couldn't keep it lite with coal only had to mix in wood. Figured it was very poor coal most likely. Never have seen a source anywhere around for anything else . I think that mine has since closed. You're not wrong. I did a bit of research and found Indiana is sitting on a pile of bituminous coal. It's considered a softer, dirtier coal to burn. I think I read anthracite makes up less the 10% of the world's coal reserves. I'm burning Pennsylvania anthracite.

Good to know. I didn't write it off just didn't want any more of what I had. I was excited to try it it was cheap I thought can't remember the price anymore. Thought if it worked I would get a bunch more and have it around Incase I couldn't get out and cut wood. But it didn't work out like I hoped.

I like chucking wood and it’s free with all of the ash and elm trees dying around here. We get other hardwoods depending on the area the wood comes from. Some towns must of planted different species as projects at some time because that’s the only place you run into that type of tree.
One town around here has hackberry a type of elm a different town has honey locust some have maples. Some trees might be the work of individuals efforts other are clearly the result of a planting projects.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
