Thinking of getting a coal bunker for the outside... Once I bring the coal in, is there an easier way to put large amounts of coal in at once?... is pour it in some how
Thanks
Thanks
Is this regarding the log burner you previously posted about? If so don't burn ordinary household coal in it under any circumstances, you will block the flue very quickly.
Coal is for open fires where 80% of the heat goes straight up the chimney carrying away the bituminous tar associated with the product. An enclosed stove burns at a much slower rate than an open fire meaning the gases released travel much slower up the flue making tarring up a dangerous problem (risk of CO poisoning)
Or leave the coal in bags, cut the corner off and pour into the scuttle. I miss not having a coal fire tbh.
Yes, there are thousands of houses which have coal fires, ranges etc.Are you even allowed to burn coal (or are we talking the smokeless equivalent here)?
