Using coal in a woodstove

[rf2]

That's the stuff I am looking for. I called the HH in Almonte (which is on the way to where I would be using it) and they don't carry it. I will try the one in Winchester.

Not looking good for the HH in Winchester. They said they haven't sold any in years, but they would see if they could order some. Would likely have to be large quantity. Greatwhite, let me know if you want to get rid of yours

I will check the other hardware store this weekend and let you know and go check the Lannins Home hardware myself as well. When I bought it they had a skid of it. It might have been the BMR. When I spotted it they didn't even know they had it. The bag I have is only half full.

I checked their website and they don't carry it so you sol. If it's on their site they'll order it, I do it all the time in the Almonte store.

It wasn't on their website when I bought it either, unsure of your point.

Thanks, but please don't go out of your way!

Just a word of advice, not trying to be an - Coal burns a lot hotter than wood - and many modern wood stoves may get damaged by continued use of coal.
Something to think about.
As for the comment of it being "illegal due to climate emergency" - I had a chuckle at that.
I know you were being sarcastic, but unfortunately with these Climate Terrorists that Trudeau has installed in the ministry of environment, don't be surprised if this happens in the next few years.
Montreal has already banned wood burning stoves a few years ago. With the fake 'climate emergency' they will ban all but essential forms of burning - or tax the living crap out of you for having a wood stove in your house.
The restrictions and regulations imposed during the CV19 plandemic will be nothing compared to the coming crap they have cooked up to "save the planet".
The climate has ALWAYS changed, and always will. Man-made climate change is a lie.
If you want to talk pollution, that's another story - the two are not related.

The wood stove I have is a Findlay Meteor - and old cookstove that was designed for both coal and wood. It comes with a grate specifically for coal, so I am assuming it is safe to use coal in it.

So, it must have been the BMR. I contacted the supplier listed on the bag in your picture, and they supply to BMR. I'll be contacting the one in Winchester and picking some up if they have it. Thanks for your help on this.

My Stove is an old Fisher and I found the manual online it is also rated for coal.

rf2 I will be stopping by there on Saturday and if I see any I will also let you know.
