( 4th most viewed topic in the last 7 days got there in only 3 days ) I have decided to include a bit of Dealer discussion from a different topic I posted to so it can be considered when discussing working with a Stove Dealer .

Duh . Call a dealer in Coal Country where they have an active market in your case an active bituminous mining market . Should that fail Harman has a top notch group of engineers and specialist working at the plant and in their organization, they are not a small operation in any sense of the word they distribute there product not just nationally but globally, the dealer has access to Harman engineers whenever needed to solve problems all they have to do is call, sit down with a dealer and present him with your need to knows and request he make the call to the mothership .steinkebunch wrote: I like the design of the verti-flow, as I think it may work with my western Bituminous coal. We have little or no swell, but lots of volatiles. I'm interested in trying it, but none of the dealers will give me a straight answer about using it with our bit. coal.
