While we are on the subject of burning coal, yesterday I found an old building supply catalog from sometime in the 1920's so I looked to see what they had to offer for furnaces. What I find is a 'Van Tine' coal burning 'pipe furnace' which is a 'hot air' furnace in modern terms. The price ranges from $62.00 for one that will heat 8000 cu. ft., to $129.00 for one that heats 35000 cu. ft. The small furnace weighs 850 lb. and the big one weighs 1600 lb. They also sold hot water and steam units. There's a long list of steam and hot water radiators with all kinds of dimensions but one example is an 8 section, 38" tall radiator with 4 sq.feet per section would cost $13.40 if my calculations are right. Kind of interesting! Jim
