It is an exterior block chimney on the back side of the house. Only entrance to chimney is from the basement. A decent number of the exterior blocks have cracks in them. I'll post some photos in the morning.

In reply to titleist1, what I found most exciting about coal was heat for my business. I heat about a 8000 ft warehouse. In the past I have shied away from places without natural gas. A stoker could make a very reasonable comparison to oil or propane.
I've already been scouring for stokers. I assume summer is generally the best time to pick up equipment cheap?

I've uploaded a few pictures of the exterior of the chimney.
I'll see if I can get a few good interior ones with a flashlight tomorrow. The inside tile looks to be about 6". I did find a 5.5" stainless liner for sale locally pretty cheap.
The only other thing I am considering now is that this is a house that the interior could use new carpet, paint and alot of cleaning. Feels like it would be a waist to repaint everything and put a coal stove in just to get everything sooted up again.

That chimney is in a little rougher shape than I expected to see. Is the broken tile at the concrete wall level, or at the wood frame level? If it's cracked where the concrete is, there are no worries that I can see.

I believe he said 3 rods down, so I think that was about 15' down from the top where the crack was. I believe just a few feet above the basement thimble.

Do you mean the 'cleanout door' that we see in the picture?fizban wrote:I believe he said 3 rods down, so I think that was about 15' down from the top where the crack was. I believe just a few feet above the basement thimble.
By the way, be sure to seal that door very well before using that chimney, it will rob your draft from your stove.
