Yup, those threads for newbies are in the, "Hand Fired Coal Stoves and Furnaces" section, ...... the second category down, "Popular Hand Fired Coal Stove Topics".lsayre wrote: ↑Wed.

If you treat it like wood you will be plagued with both endless nagging outfires and the ever dreaded puffbacks. You will need to unlearn everything you know. I believe that Lee (Lightning) may have put together a guideline for the proper starting and routine maintaining of a hand fired anthracite fire, and perhaps he (or someone else on the forum) will be able to point you to an instruction list of guidelines and rules (good practices) to follow.Johnny357 wrote: ↑Fri. Sep. 29, 2017 2:46 pmCoal does seem to be the more efficient option but where I live it seems difficult to find... I am considering the Legacy Mark 2 or Mark 1, and the Legacy TLC 2000. Grew up with a wood burning stove and live in a pretty remote area that loses power more often than most... Any insight and advice would be much appreciated.
