Hi, We had a Franco Belge coal stove that burned PEA coal, which is about 2" in diameter. 50 lb. bags stacked nicely indoors or out but when you tranfer the coal from the bag to the Hod, do it outdoors, lots of coal dust otherwise.

Had the stove situated on the lower level of 1,800 sf. split level home. Regulating the heat was simple and kept the whole house warm with no real hot spots.

Eventually took it out in favor of Pellet stove. Electricity is needed but easier to maintain, fill, and light.
