I've been thinking of going with a large centralized stove that burns anthracite coal as the main heat source and a smaller wood stove that burns logs in the corner of the family room/dining room. The anthracite coal stove will do most of the heating. The smaller wood stove as a backup so, fewer cords per year.
What is the availability and cost of anthracite in that area?
