DON'T PUT COAL IN A WOODSTOVE. Unless you stove is super air tight you run the risk of either CO getting out. Or excessive air getting in which will cause the coal to burn beyond red hot. My on left the ash door open on our coal stove and I had to replace the grates the next summer. They are 1" thick cast iron that drooped they got so hot. Currently we are paying $220 a ton for anthracite. 4 tons heats 2200sqft nicely. Oil tank is $800 for one fill.
