When I first came to this forum, almost everybody tried to get me to use anthracite.
But, it's non-existent in this part of the state.
Politicians have been screwing us little people forever.

Just heard the other day their newest climate scam.
They want to block out the sun to stop temps rising

Wow that's a bummer, I have about a ton of the fisher nut and actually enjoy burning it, although in my Saey Harmony it doesn't do well, it did nice in my old woodford. I was looking forward to burning it my Van Wert hand fired boiler this winter...Sylvesterd101 wrote: ↑Wed.
