Morning HB , I'm not sure, and we don't keep really good stats like Larry does. Last week before the single numbers set in Paul said he's top consumption was half a barrel ( blue 55 gal.) over 24 hrs.

HB, Thats prob very close.............. I did the wood thing for about 40 years. After doing what seamed like a economical way to stay away from oil with wood, this way def has many pluses .
But ............. there is no way I could have gone down this path without all the help from my coal friends on this site and guys like Dave O and Mike N . It's great to have all this experience that stops in here and helps each other.
