Woodsy,
Not sure I believe the $3.00/ gallon heating oil, although I guess it could happen. I have no experience with coal, my sister in law heated her house with it for a few years (with a stove specifically designed to burn coal). They finally converted the house from electric baseboard to forced hot water by either gas or oil, I don't remember. Coal worked well, but they always had a fine coating of black dust throughout the house, that's why they gave up on it.
