Honestly, if we didn't already have the pellet stove, we'd have gone for a coal stove. It's not as "dirty" as it used to be and coal is still cheap. Now & then we kick around the idea of small back-up coal burner on the lower level with a direct vent so no chimney is necessary. Like This

Barb, You might be on to something there. Just think...you will be running around the house yelling...."IT'S A CLINKER!".

Eagle, looking forward to some pictures and a review!

Barb - thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of direct-vent coal stoves, but I see Harman also makes one. That just went way up the list for possibilities.

We have been looking at these small coal burning stoves as back up for heat when the electricity goes out. Also, for 950 sq ft we don't need a large stove in this moderate climate.
