Greetings to all. We hit single digits this morning so I fired up on coal for the first time this season with the Chubby Jr. Senior has been burning hurricane wood since November and keeping the chill off through a winter that thus far had too many warm fluctuations for me to burn coal.

Yep we got it good. The Junior on coal so out did the Senior blasting away on hardwood so Senior is now burning coal too. I am still burning through last year's coal supply so I do not know yet what I will need to pay to get through February. What ever it is, will be worth more to me than free wood. Burning wood gets old fast. Burning coal gets old too, but only slowly.
