that’s funny!!!!! I tell them now they can always give me coal for Christmas!!! Now the great grand kids I tease them about getting coal for Christmas
I'm still on TSC for the top Coal for my Super Mag. No fines,just damp enough so no dust,burns flawless. Much better the the Santa's Coal I used in the past. Again I've been burning 24/7 since Oct 1st. Got down to -25 deg so far this winter. Northern NH's winter and burning TSC will last until April probably as it has every year for the 14 yrs I've been here.

I picked up a few bags of rice at TSC in Sussex, NJ, and it seemed to be closer to buckwheat size.
I don't what Buckwheat is never had it but TSC Rice has burnt so nice since Oct 1st. here in Northern NH. At least in my Harman Super Mag. I'm amazed no fines ever. Must of been cleaned good. Also still no water in and just damp enough for no dust.

Yup, stick with the nut size for your Glen. Other than that, you could experiment with pea or stove size. Generally speaking, pea size will burn slower, longer and cooler. Stove size will burn faster, shorter and hotter.

Welcome to the forum . I would not run anything smaller then nut in a Glenwood, I run range ( 50/50 mix of nut and stove) works very well for me, I can get the heat when I need it and I can idle it around 200° when I need too.

didn't read the entire thread but would it be possible to fashion and attach a kind of concave screen at/over the top of the hopper to catch the big pieces before they get down into the gears? .. . maybe the manufacturer could offer this as an add on?

talked to the Manufacturer and they won’t put the $$$$ into it ! They may buy or use an idea if we come up with a solution but they would lose sales on the parts !!!!
