If it were me, I'd do a Nut/Stove mix. I get bulk like that. Bags??? To much aggravation.

Get used to it with nut before you go playing with stove.

Stove can be some big rocks to keep lit.

These old stoves tend to like stove coal. But nut should be OK in your stove. Don't be afraid to try stove size if you get a chance. I've never had any issue running stove in my #6. Stove coal responds well to changes you may wish to make. I'd never go back to anything other than stove size. I've tried nut, pea and various mixes. Stove wins hands down, in my stove anyway.
