Now that the burning season has come to a premature end for the most part, shut the old coal stove down and cant wait for what will hopefully be a better spring/summer than last year! Even though we had a long cold spell here, I ended up using just about two tons of coal for the whole season keeping 2700 sq feet at no lower than 70 and averaging about 75. All said and done it cost me about $475.00 to heat my home this winter! Yahoo and thanks for global warming/elnino (at least in the NorthEast this year)!
