What do all you folks think of the Reading Coal Stokers? Quality? Reliable? Parts availability? Asking for your input! Thanks!
 
Well in the "spirit of the upcoming season" i figured I would respond. Have a freind who has been burning one for 4 years now in a local store, where he also sells them. Stoker unit is of high quality but the hopper could have been made of a heavier gauge metal. His rusted out during the third season of use. He welded a new piece of steel in it and it good as new. He being a dealer has never had a problem with parts and usually gets them withing a few days of ordering them.
