Question:

Congratulations on an excellent site! There are a lot of us techies who don't know a thing about more 'primitive' modes of heating. Myself- for example. I just moved into a place with a coal stove ( the kind where the metal doors can open in the front to expose the fire). Could you send me some basic instructions on how to start and maintain a fire in the darn thing? (Preferably without filling the house with smoke) I really need your expert advice.
