Hello All!
I just joined the Forum and did a little searching. I just purchased a Vermont Castings Vigilant Coal Stove. I will be getting my permits soon and starting the install soon

I have a few questions that you guys might be able to help out with. In some of my research I have found that some people use this as a dual fuel stove (wood or coal). It is not marketed this way. Does anybody know if this is safe?

If I wanted to run this as a primary source: How much coal do most people use in a “normal winter”. I am in North New Jersey.
 
Maybe you want to post that question here: http://nepacrossroads.com/
People there may have more experience with your stove and can help with your question(s)
