Same here. I painted ours green to blend in with the shingles. Its hard to pick it out from a distance, most people just think we have the stone chimney in the front of house. Look closely at my avatar, you should be able to just make out the ss chimney off to the right side.

Coal Berner:

Is lump coal hard to break into smaller usable pieces? What is the average size of a piece of lump coal? At $80 a ton, this sounds interesting. Anyone have and use a home made coal breaker? Do you have pics of a home made breaker? Do they load it with a bucket loader? Since this would probably be considered loose or bulk coal, the load would have to be covered for transport correct? I'm always looking for a cheaper way to get my coal supply and I don't mind working with coal. It is a lot better than wood.

I have seen your avatar so many times and never noticed the pipe. As you said it looks like you just have a stone chimney. It really blends in.

New Hope Engineer cracks his own coal. He says its a very messy job, and the entire room gets dirty.
Here is a pic of his home-made Coal Cracker.....

Heres a closer look. Actually, the satelite dish stands out more than the ss flue...

My attention still goes to the nice stone chimney. Mine is cut stone and is very plain; I love the look of your stone chimney. How did you get your dog to pose just right for the pic?

Thanks Snowman... I did that chimney myself. Didn't even set up scaffolding, I worked out of the bucket of the tracter. :shock:
Our dog is soooo photogenic, and he knows it. He even got his picture in the local papers, cuz he poses for everyone.

Jotulman:

I don't have any leads on a red Jotul 507 or the 505. The 505 has the smoke box on top. I have never seen the inside of one, however, it looks like a 507 with a smoke box added. I was informed they are the same inside so one would expect to be able to burn coal in it. If I come across a red 507 I'll give you a heads up. If I come across a 505 maybe I might give you a heads up. There are a number of Jotul wood/coal stoves like the 505 that need to be added to my growing collection of coal stoves. I'm told the best place to find a 505 and other models like that are in Europe and not the US. My wife would not understand a road trip to Europe nor would she understand the vast number of Jotul stoves and a few others that would be shipped back to the US. I bet the 505 would out perform the 507. Let me know if you find a 507 or a 505. I will keep my eyes open for you.

I tried to search Craigslist Sweden but the alphabet seems to get scrambled crossing the ocean.
