We moved into a house with a steam boiler, oil fired for the radiators, and there is also a wood/coal fired hot air furnace that will heat the first floor that I have yet to try out (want to clean the ducts first).

The bonus was the 40 50 lb bags of coal already in the basement, and I just found out a friend of mine deals coal on the side and is willing to sell me washed, bagged hard stove coal at cost.

After going through a 275 gal tank of oil in a little over 3 weeks I gotta get on that ductwork!!

I'll burn the beer off shoveling coal
