Help With Anthracite Coal in Clayton Model 1800 Furnace

I have a clayton wood/coal furnace that is forced air with a 160,000 BTUs Model 1800. I am interested in burning with anthracite coal. I hear it is tricky to get it light & keep burning. Could someone help me with this? My sq ft is approx 2200 sq ft. The house was built in 1989. Wood is getting difficult to get. Thanks, Skully
