10 Reasons We Love Our ANTHRACITE COAL STOVE 

Pennsylvanian here! It’s fun to see you sharing about Blashack - that’s mined and bagged within 15 minutes of my home! Glad our local product is serving you well!

One of the very best things to do is . Place a biggest pan of water on top of the stove. You will use less coal because you don't have to run the stove as hot... The other plus is you do not dry out your house ...Rock on

My dad used to heat with coal but converted to wood when coal reached the outrageous price of $30/ton in the late sixties.

One advantage of that type of heat over a forced air furnace, it that gives off radiant heat as opposed to just blowing warm air. The radiant heat will warm the walls, floor, ceiling, and other solid objects in the house. When you open the door to enter the home, much of the warm air will escape and will be replaced with cold air. The solid objects will retain heat much longer. Radiant heat will also warm your body when you are cold from coming in from outside. You can stand near the stove for a few minutes, turn around a couple times and warm right up no matter how cold you feel. Another benefit you didn't mention is that you would have some ability to cook food during a power outage. You could still have hot water for coffee, tea, or washing. Hot soup or stew could be had. Many other dishes could be made depending on your abilities.

Nice! I'm from Pennsylvania! Blaschak is a big operation here. If you are interested in deep mined coal the old fashioned way we still have a few underground mines left operating. Superior Coal in Hegins, Pa. still is an underground operation. My buddy gets his there.

I just installed a chubby and used your other video to help me get it going today. Thanks for your detailed instructions. Its a learning curve to be sure, but after some effort, I now have a warm house!. Thanks again.

$1000 per winter is pretty impressive considering how cold it is up there. I think I spend that much on my electric heat pump here in Virginia and our winters are incredibly mild lately. Of course that's for heating plus regular appliance use and lighting, etc., but heat is the majority of the bill.

awesome. I live in anthracite country. Still cheap here. And no work like cutting wood. I know people that spend weeks cutting wood. We just go pick it up and put it in the bin.

My Scottish Grandfatger had a coal stove. One in tge house and one in tge workshed where he, my Fatger and I played darts and I used the bench vice to turn tgeir beer bottle caps into slingshot fodder. I remember the smell distinctly. I live in New England, where we used to get winters like that when I was a kid. Haven't smelled that scent since.

Very informative Coal heating documentary

When I started burning coal, I had a Coal Chubby, great stove. I have since upgraded to a Hitzer 50-93, basically the Cadillac of coal burning stoves.

Thank you so much for this video. You have a beautiful home and family and I can't thank you enough for this video.

Paying the coal toll!

I have the luxury of living near the PA border and am considering moving into PA for my end of life stint. If I do, I want the Chubby and I will pair that with my kerosene lanterns and stay warm and lit during any power outages. Your videos on this particular well engineered heater and coal use, have helped me immensely to decide. And if I do get a Chubby, I already know how to operate it from all your detailed info. I do have experience with bituminous coal but would prefer the cleaner anthracite. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge on this.

When you do use wood occasionally what is the ideal length do you cut the wood into for that stove ? I have been researching your stove and coal supply sourcing with your help and soon we will be using coal. I was Coviedly stranded out of the country for over 3 years and got back early November to a rotten wood pile I had stored for burning. Not wanting to use electricity I have been cutting down , splitting soft maple trees on my lot and force drying the fire wood for burning for this winter . If I had coal there would have been no problem and I do have lots of inside storage . SO COAL is going to be my new choice by next winter thanks to your tutoring of burning and sourcing of coal. .

I jumped on the anthracite bandwagon a few years back and you are right that there is very little chimney maintenance compared to wood or lignite coal. I burned lignite for a while and I had to sweep out the chimney pipe once a month. With anthracite, I only have to do it once a year at the end of the season (and a once through in the beginning of the season, of course, in case animals or insects made a home of it during the summer).

I really appreciate this video..we live in SE Ohio in a log house and have a Clayton 1802G wood burning furnace. I normally spend most of the year cutting wood for the 5-6 month that we use it. I have the option to burn coal and thanks to your video I might want to consider it in the future! I love the idea that with coal you dont need to spend so much time caring for the fire itself! I am running downstairs probably every 3-4 hours to maintain a good burn. Cheers!

I watched one of your videos about this stove. We are locating to the Sudbury area so I wanted to ask how do you get your coal delivered from the Green Vally store and approx cost. Also when you heat with wood what length works for your stove? We will have 2 houses to heat on one property so it looks like maybe 2 stoves or 1 boiler type burner. I really like the independence and the burn time your stove gives. Super great video and a real eye opener in many ways on how to heat your house more efficiently.

Great video on the benefits of anthy burning. Well presented, and can relate to your experiences.Burn it in my antique Glenwood 111, and have been about 15 yrs so far with anthy. Makes gobs of BTUs compared to anything else, and pellets are a joke. Been on a coal stove forum for yrs, (NEPA/Coal Pail), and the Chubby Co is a winner for many. Problem with costs now-a-days is how anti fossil fuel democrats have squashed it financially. Hopefully we can get past it. Keep up the good work with yours, and enjoy the upcoming season.Thanks for posting.

I shook first, threw a heaping pile of new coal on and then flossed until i saw red coals. Left the top door open until i saw blue flame on the top of the new bed. Got me 16 hr burn times!

As you can tell I keep reviewing your videos.

Schuylkill county, Pa native here. Anthracite is all around here.

i love coal. i use soft coal here in western pa. $110/ton. a hitzer 254 running coal will roast me out of a 24x40 shop in the coldest weather. i have several cords of cherry and maple out back and don't really use it unless its over 40 degrees and just need to take the edge off. coal is king. i use about a 5 gallon bucket or two a day depending on my burn time.

I've just paid 699 gbp for 40 x 25kg sacks, that's Welsh anthracite.

ive watched a few of your videos now that have your coal stove in the title. One thing i havent seen is getting the fire going with coal. The other thing is i went online to see if i could find this coal locally and it looks like its 160 per ton for your size mentioned here in alberta

Loved my chubby.

I haven’t heard of this coal I’m wondering if it’s available in Australia and what would be the cost for one heater for say a weeks worth of burning

Hi, great information. May i ask does yours have a steel drum style case or is it cast. I just purchased a small coal stove this week.

Sadly the Stainless Steel chimney pipe or liner (304), used for wood burning can’t be used for a long time; before it will breakdown and leak. Stainless Steel (316) chimney or liner must be used. An inspected masonry chimney can be used.

The idea of warming my house with an anthracite stove gives me the warm and fuzzies. One day I will live that way rather than my suburban electric life.

Do you need to clean your chimney when you burn only anthracite?

Thanks for the video! How many inches are you from your white range and how many inches to the backwall thanks

Where can I buy one?

It would be great using coal to heat water aswell.

So what is considered to be “Northern Ontario”? Are you near the Hudson Bay?

Brand of anthracite stove . I want to buy it

Is it limited to only anthracite- nut coal? If it can burn one coal, looks like any type of coal would be fine

Good video brother... P.S. My name is not Guido Sarduce. That's a character from the old old 'Saturday Night Live' from the 80's and early 90's. My name is Joe... I live in Minnesota so we definitely know COLD like you do there in Canada. I've been a prepper and survivalist for 35 years. - Since that stove gets so hot would one of those top of the stove fans that run on just the heat from the stove, no electricity work on it? If it would it would save on the electric from the fan in the back and would still circulate the heat during a power outage. I ask because I don't know for an anthracite stove only for a hard wood stove. The one I use on my wood stove is a "Skaats dual blade fan" but you can get then in a lot of different places and single blades and for a better price. Mine was a gift from a prepper buddy. - Let me know if you've tried one or not. Joe 👊

Love my chubby

Why not "floss" before emptying the ash pan? That way you would be starting the day with an empty pan.

How many BTUs / Kw is it rated at ? Is it an aluminium or steel scoop ?

is this a Franklin stove?

Is it normal to smell sulphur every now and then while burning coal? Do you know what causes it?

Coal is crazy expensive and illegal to use where I live, would love to have it tho

In England coal is 187 £ for a bag of coal so the coal you use. Would cost us thousand of pounds of money

Have you tried using Thermovoltaic Fans? With that much heat, you might be able to get a heat exchanger (e.g., metal tubing around exhaust pipe) to pump hot air into a "Hot Water Heater" and a "Wood Oven". 500+ degrees Fahrenheit - that's hot enough to power a Wood Oven that has a Cooktop. Sear, Skillet, Fry, and Bake. You can grill outside. Better yet, just saw this Coal/Wood burning Oven... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--OcSCDSMWaI.html

That all you can use in uk

But, what about the smell of chimney smoke? Unpleasant?

😂 Wait until Justin Castro TruDope finds out and he hits you with an even higher carbon tax😂

$1000.00 dollars to heat 1000 SQ feet is very expensive !!!
