Ceiling mount heater

Coal is the warmest, steadiest heat you can find.

We heated with coal until I was about seven. My Dad always bought PA anthracite coal...good hard coal kept a good bed of coals.

I remember when he bought an automatic stoker so he wouldn't have to go in the basement to shovel coal during the night.

We'd open the windows in zero weather if we got too hot.

I have a gas fired radiant tube heater in my shop. I'm not using it because the gas company and I have a $900.00 dispute over a past gas bill.

For the last several years I have used a pellet stove to heat the shop. If I have let it get cold inside I warm.up the space with a 30k propane torpedo heater then the pellet stove can keep it warm. It's only a 25k btu stove so it would take a full day to warm the shop without help.
