It's gonna be fully functional, mostly burning wood and maybe coal, I have a hook up where I can get 25 lbs of coal for 6 dollars

If I'm doing my math correctly, that's about $480 a ton.

I'd be checking around a bit more. The place I bought from last year worked out to $275.00 per ton if bought in 50 pound bags (that's for nut anthracite).

Yeah it's high but coal is not readily available where I'm at but a massive amount of hard wood is lol

Got it.

I don't blame you for running wood through it. I liked burning coal, and it was affordable. But I have access to about 80 acres of forested land that used to have a good bit of ash on it (much of it ended up in my dad and my wood sheds). The result is that last year, I ran my wood/coal stove on wood for almost all of the burning season, only purchasing about 3/4 a ton of coal (lasted a little less than a month) to use during the coldest parts of the winter.

Anyway, that sure is a pretty stove, and some nice work on the restoration.
