I have been burning Jeddo burns good but too much fly ash. I have tried Gale but the clinkers bridges between grate and door. I was thinking of Direnzo or Mazaika. I am looking for a less powdery ash to cut down on fly ash. Anyone have a comparison or info on Direnzo and Mazaika or any suggestions for a supplier.

Sounds like you are using too much air.

I have had great luck with Lehigh Anthracite. Very little flyash in the base of my EFM when I clean it in the spring.

My local dealer switched to Lehigh. Curious to see how it burns. I've heard good things and Matt from Lehigh on our very own forum seems very responsive.

I'm very happy with Lehigh. In the past I've bought from DeRenzo, I found their coal to be very good as well. You can get Lehigh locally from American Coal if you are not able to go to Tamaqua.
