Very nice I didn't know people still use cold stoves I have one that was putting out for trash years ago and it was well used meaning the grid that you just shook back and forth was nuked I use it for the past five seven years as a wood stove cuz it had forced air you know pipes are off the back and through the front of it blue air out was nice can you cook on the top but I finally bought a legit wood stove because here in Massachusetts I don't really know where you get cold anymore I know in the past my neighborhood had a lot of houses had cold in them my grandfather's house had cold but it's just staying around no more I don't think here
Just Google anthracite coal dealer near me I belong to a website called nepacrossroads.com and they explain how to burn it, techniques, and stove information. Been a part of that site since 2009. I've read alot of people in New England had the coal chubby stoves and they where popular in your area coal may be expensive getting trucked that far from Eastern pa is why I guess alot of new englanders slacked off on buying coal, I'd rather pay for the coal than risk himney fire with wood stove and all the work that comes with processing enough wood for a season been there done that. Definitely nice to get 22 plus hour burn times with consistent heat output too, you won't see that with a wood stove
