OT Rollin Coal...literally
Looked at a small job for a homeowner today in an old home. The old coal shute was plugged, but the room it was in was almost filled with old coal. She said I was welcome to any that I wanted to carry out. Looks like my wood burner will be firing coal as well this winter!

Be careful burning coal in your wood stove. It burns hotter than wood and if your stove isn't rated for it, I have seen people that have burned up and melted all sorts of things. A little bit at a time is ok, but I wouldn't go hog wild unless your stove is a dual fuel rated unit. The ash is also considerably more corrosive, so be careful. All that being said, that is a good find!
