That's awesome! Nice job!!

Very cool!!! Looks great too!!

Pretty nifty setup there!

Thanks so cool when I get my house I wanna build one of them to save time thank you for showing us

very nice setup

Great job fella

That was terrific!

After reading all the comments and noticing Jim doesn't respond to anyone's questions, let alone simply "like" check the comments, I must assume his coal furnace burned the house down, along with Jim. May he R.I.P.

Great job!!

Awesome job

Good system dude easy and it works perfect !

I like it,great job.

Nice job !

I love it sweet job dude.

Nice system.

Very very impressed!!!!

Awesome job well executed I'd like to have a setup like that. I have a coal combustion year I started burning rice coal to start with trial run about 2 weeks... i ended up burning stoker coal... very good heat

Very nice!

Excellent!!!

Well played

Thats pretty slick

Congratulations! That’s super cool! Love the set up! What a great idea. Can you post more on the bin construction and auger you bought?

Impressive.

very nice

It looks pretty good, and I can tell you are very proud of it too. would you mind posting a parts list.

Nice !

Nice!! One MAJOR thing is you wanna keep the lid on your hopper while the stove is running otherwise you can get a hopper fire, sounds crazy but it can be major issue if you dont use your lid

badass!

very smart

Excellent set up! I'm really looking into ideas to build my own as well as I'm thinking of going over to coal next winter. I'm getting too old to find 7 to 8 cords of wood every winter and this past winter did it! Its 28 degrees outside and its April 3rd! Is it spring yet or what! Anyway, I ran out of wood a few weeks ago and have been throwing coal in my wood stove. It works fine and I check the grate every day. Works so well, upgrading next year for sure!

Badass

I worked with him years ago ,

Nice job Jim! I would like to have more information on the design and parts. It doesn't look like you are answering people's questions here. I hope you will respond to mine. Thanks

I am jealous! There is no way a truck could get anywhere on my property for a delivery though :( back to luggin' in my 50lbs bags...

Four 6x6 wood beams, sorry those don’t look like what you said, 4 by 6 is more correct, none the less truly good thinking here.

verry smart i cant engineer much but if i could i could make some cool stuff

Jim 1 more.You burn Rice.I have a VC Vigilant,It says burn rice/Pea but I find when I load it,The coal falls through the greats..So I burn Nut or Stove.Thank you

How often do you have to refill the hopper on the coal stove? How many pounds of coal do burn in the winter? Great system. Thanks.

Where did you get the auger assembly? I hate to build one from scratch.

excelent system. I always wanted somthing like this for my stove. My coal bin is in my basement and i want to connect a auger like this to deliver the coal up one floor to where my stove is located. where did you get the auger?

Amazing job, where do you buy the auger?

Awesome. Did you build it yourself, and how much did you spend?

How does the truck dump high up in the bin?

goo idea but anyway you must load that bin with your showel

LIKE TOTALLY AWSOME, BUT EXPLAIN THE DUCT WORK TO HEATING THE HOUSE WERES THE BLOWER

Also, did you custom make that Auger or did you purchase it premade from somewhere? If so, can you share the vendor please. Thanks.

What if the coal is wet yet? How long does it take to dry

Do coal stoves not have combustible clearance requirements like wood stoves have? Seems like that pipe would be against code

Is your coal oil treated for dust containment?

Jim Very close to what I want to do. Where can I get the auger and motor?

what kind of stove???

What do you do with your ashes?

....ok

Where do you live that there is still coal delivery? What is rice coal? I ain't young but I've never heard of using coal to heat your house in modern times.

dump them
