In Reply to: O/T Heating With Coal posted by 37 chief on December 22, 2007 at 14:02:49:
When I moved into my house in 1971 it had a steam boiler fired with a coal stoker, we bought a truckload of coal every year usually 12-15 tons, which would last all winter. At first it was $27.50 a ton and climbed to more than $70 when we converted to LP fired high efficiency boilers (two) about 10 years ago. With the coal the celler was always warm because the fire never went out. Now it is much cooler down there which may be more cost effective but I miss the warmth. I usually handled all of the coal a minimum of 2 times, sometimes if the truck dumped it 50 feet from the celler it was 3 times (counting ash removal) which meant I got more heat from it.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
