One of the coals used is soft and the other is hard, Soft coal (Bituminous) hard coal (Anthracite). The stove is designed for burning hard coal, that coal burns in the bed and has very low volatile matter. Where as the Bituminous has a high volatile matter and during combustion distils that matter off into a combustible gas. This gas burns above the coal fire bed in the above space. Soft coal is used in boilers equipped with under feed stokers, feeding the raw coal from below the fire upward. You have a very cool stove. Thanks for showing it to us.
I wouldn't call it dangerous but pavman 1000 is absolutely right. Coal burns from the bottom up. Start with a small wood fire, when that is well established then you add a small amount of coal onto that. Once those coals get going you can add a full load of coal and close up the stove. You need the fire on the bottom where the shaker grate is so you can shake out the ashes from time to time. Coal stoves are designed with the air vents on the bottom to regulate the fire. The stove will work alot better if start the coal this way.
I am rediscovering some of these old style home heating methods. I really like what I am learning about coal heat advantages. A coal stove is going to have a place in my next small home.
I'm completely new with this..You're an excellent teacher... just got a Godin parlor stove- using pre- soaked charcoal to start, then anthracite nut size coal.. have a lot to learn still figuring everything out...
Beautiful stove, should be in a restaurant as a working showpeace. I am sure the ladies especially would love to come back. Nothing is as cozy as a coal stove. Personally I would burn the Antraciet with less air to let it glow red.
This contraption is something I think I would just love. Thanks so much for your work and video (?) dont know what to call a youtube art. Question: lots of tinkers after burn is a sign of what deficit? Thanks again! Ill watch this more than once.
My uncle used to work in the Lunenburg Foundry many years ago. I have fond memories of going into the foundry with him.

Coolest (No Pun Intended) Coal Stove I've Ever Seen And Anthracite Rules; I Grew Up With It.

Nancy, thanks for your kind remarks. Your enthusiasm is what is most important when starting out on your project. Happy learning....
Great stove you got there..I always liked the smell of soft coal burning but hard coal has the best burn time and is so much cleaner .great vedio
Beautiful stove, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Suggestion: I always empty ashes outside into a can so dust plumes not inside.

@@FreeCampers what are you asking for the stove
We need to assess the value before we put it on the market. As a matter of interest, what do you think it is worth?
@@FreeCampers sorry but i dont really know
Wow! I like your stove! Has any of the doors ever blow openn because of the. Ethan explosion?
This contraption is something I think I would just love. Thanks so much for your work and video (?) dont know what to call a youtube art. Question: lots of tinkers after burn is a sign of what deficit? Thanks again! Ill watch this more than once.
How are you running it backwards and it works?!
Beautiful stove,! The guys on coalpail would love to have it,
Thanks JD. I've registered with them since you mentioned it.
What is that in the middle of the stove, above the flame?
Wowsers, Wow.....
Antracite is an amazing fuel

How long would you say that the original scuttle and a half burns for, roughly?
Another stove video update sometime would be great. Thanks.
Hi Pete we won't be starting the stove up again because we have decided to sell it. Interested?
How much are you selling it for? And where are you located?
Nice globe stove
I have one of these. I was thinking about selling it. How much is it worth?
Hello, the secondary air is for secondary combustion? Do coal stoves have secondary combustion? Beautiful stove!
Hello. Yes, the secondary air is for secondary combustion. It is a beautiful stove, especially when the flames show through the window panels.
FreeCampers Thx! Greetings from Latvia!
Cool
You should just start a wood fire then add coal your doing that the dangerous way.. Beautiful stove!
What kind of stove is it???
It came from the historic lunenburg foundry. Made in the late 1800s. It will be up for sale soon if you're interested
FreeCampers might be. Depends on price and shipping. Let me know.
I can imagine it would be a pain to try to start that with just balled up paper.
I never use paper. It always start with a propane torch onto wood or coal.
