TheInvisibleOne why HOAs suck ass and should not exist

Move live ur way eff any one telling u how to live

@@zack9912000 i agree

It depends on the house and other variables. For my house, it's more than enough. It's very efficient, and once the coal furnace hits idle, I don't need to refill the hopper for at least three days...many times, more. I take out the ashes every other day and it's only half full. Thank you for your comment!

Hi Milton, Yes, it's 4X8 and I think it's 3ft wide. (inside diameter) When I get a chance, I'll measure to make sure. And 3 tons fits in my bin. It may leave a little bump on top so the cover can't fully close, it may leave a 4 inch gap, but that doesn't bother me. Coal doesn't go bad. Hope that helped. :)

I don't see why not. But, depending on the stove, you can probably using bigger coal like Buck. Rice is perfect for automatic coal stoves and furnaces. NOTE: Have the stove and chimney checked by a licensed specialist FIRST.

Hello, fellow Patriot! The most important question. Is coal readily available in your area? IOW, do you live in coal country? If not, coal will be much more expensive. It might not be cost effective. Where I am, it cost me $160 a ton. There's also many variables in which if coal is right for you. I highly recommend to go to coalpail.com/coal-forum/ That site is all about coal, stoves, furnaces and etc. Depending what your needs are and where to install one, has to be well planned. That site is a fountain of info. That's where I learned a lot. Hope this helps and MAGA!

Hello, I have a large backyard area where I dump the ashes. Unlike wood ashes, coal ashes are gritty. They don't 'melt' into the soil like wood. They're visible. Something to consider if you don't have a place to put them.

When I was a kid we just put them out with the trash once cool

@@bernincoal1 Coal ashes are carcinogenic, you should dispose them properly.

Absolutely not. In fact, most store it outside. Many just don't have the room to store it inside. Being wet doesn't burn worse because by the time it reaches the fire plate, all moister has evaporated. Also, it's delivered wet. To keep down dust. Water has no effect on coal performance Think about it. Coal is millions of years old. About emissions. Anthracite coal (what I use) is way cleaner than Bituminous and is at par of gas/propane emissions. Tree huggers want to demonize coal as this horrible to the planet monster, when in fact animal dung is THE #1 pollutant. These are the same people that own fossil fuel powered vehicles. If they care so much, then THEY should set the example and give up all their 'dirty' contributers. Purely hypocritical, don't you think?

I scoop it out with a small bucket when it's top full. When the level gets lower, I remove 1x4 pressure treated slots and have access there. There are 8 slots and as the coal goes lower, I can reach it easily. There's tons of vids on bins. Another great place is coalpail dot com.

bernincoal1 thanks I really appreciate the info!!!

Well, put in account that I'm in coal country, so I can get it about $200 a ton. Thanks for your comment! :)

Absolutely not. Coal needs extreme heat to get it going. For example, one way to start the coal is by using a small blow torch.....and THAT takes 5-7 minutes before the coal can heat to operating temps. I can leave the coal in the bin forever and nothing will happen. No problem. Thank you for your question. :)

Rice coal is Anthracite.

It's over built. I don't have that problem. The coal is contained by the inner walls. If you look at the vid again, you'll see sheathing inside. So, it's inner wall, 2X4 and outer wall. The down side to this is that I lose 4 inches of space all around because the sheathing is covering the 2X4. The up side is that there's no risk of the outer walls bulging and makes for a much stronger bin.

bernincoal1 how much did the 3ton cost - if we ran outta seasoned wood in australia we would use coal

+michael phillips He pays $200 per ton or $600 US for three tons . Here in Michigan at the tractor supply they sell a full pallet of 50# bags for $268 (one ton).

cool

It’s was washed when it was crushed

True, but when you add the cost of a hauler, time and fuel, it's basically the same. :) Thanks for your comment!

It does have an effect on the weight though. Id put up with the dust for 3 tons of dry anthracite.

Hate to disappoint you, it's been filled numerous times. Still going strong. 😊

that's what SHE said!

This year it was $185 a ton.

Ok iwant a ton

160 where I am at in PA... so ordering 3.5 ton is the same as 200 gallons of oil. Here

How's that? U got Russian coal nearby!? In Poland Russian coal costs $200/1t, Polish coal $250 (our is better though).

It's hard coal,, not soft

Yes.👍

Eastern Explorer I live in coal country. 3 tons of of coal is around $600. But I don't use that much during the winter. I always have some left over. Also, if I went wood, I'd need to build a chimney. My coal furnace is automated. Light and forget it. Except when removing the ashes, which is every 2 days.

Eastern Explorer I'm not sure how much wood costs, but many in my area get it free. Many felled trees or live by forests.

Here in Ohio rural area, a single cord of wood goes for an average of $130 to $140 US per 4 feet wide x 4 feet tall x 8 feet long. A few years ago when the temperatures dropped to minus 20F and minus 30F, a cord of wood was going for $300 US. That $20 canadian per cord is extremely cheap.

The problem in the U.S is that firewood companies have to buy their wood from private land which drives up the price a lot. Here In Canada we get all our wood off Public land that has no owner so its dirt cheap. You may have recently heard about the soft wood dispute between the U.S and Canada. The issue being that Canadian logging companies get basically free timber where as American companies have to buy their wood for a high stump price. Its impossible for American companies to compete with free wood hence the current dispute.

Wasnt aware Canadian logging companies could go onto public lands and cut down trees like that, nor was I aware there was a trade dispute due to the wood being free except for the cost of chopping down and processing the trees. That explains the extremely cheap price per cord in Canada. So Canadians havnt run out of trees yet? :-)
