[quote="dcrane"]I burned at least 600 gallons of oil last season with thermostat at 68, im now looking at temps at 70-72 and think im going to be at about 2 tons for this year (plus 100 gallons of oil)

I wanted to follow up with all the replies I received on my question. I have cleaned out grates below combustion chamber and installed a t'stat and I have reduced my coal usage by about 15-20%. I also am keeping house at 73-74%. (Wife is still happy even if it's not 76...haha). Not sure why I didn't do this sooner. Thanks for the insight and comments.
Once you heat with coal, there is no other option!
