would love to heat with wood/coal but we work full time and aren't here to keep things going. When here, we have a fire or two and the radiators shut off but the oil keeps the place about 65 degrees..... thinking about pellets or a self feeding wood/coal boiler.

I heard of a delivery gone wrong! About 15 years ago, older part of Omaha, lots of abandoned heating oil fill pipes still around. Delivery driver got wrong address, found fill pipe, started filling-no tank in basement! Filled the basement with heating oil! Heard the oil supplier had to buy the place, and tore it down, as there was no way they could get the stink out!

I like the idea of a "T" section right above the stove, I have one on mine too. It makes a convenient access to check the flue pipe.
An old man near me built a new house in the 1980's.He sat a 500 gallon gas tank on the back side of his garage and plumbed it into the garage so he could fuel his car inside.A few years later he went to a nursing home to recover from a broken hip.When he got home they discovered the gas from the tank had drained into the house and some went into the basement drain.The epa drilled test wells all around the hose and he was told they would probably have to tear the house down and haul away the dirt.

That's a fine lookin' coal cooker. What make is it & what kind of coal is it designed to burn? Pulverized? I really want a coal burner & am still poking around the market. I'd prefer something with a stoker/pulverizer, if such a thing is still made.
Thanks,
Mike

Assuming that you are from Wisconsin, you unfortunately dont have the availability of coal like in do in PA. Therefore i know that you guys pay alot for coal up there with trucking costs. My stove is a TRI-BURNER 60,000 BTU stoker. They were bought out by Reading Stove Co.
It burns rice coal and will burn about 36 hours unattended. If your interested in stokers search the manufactures Keystoker, Harmon, Reading, or Lehigh stoves.
this link http://nepacrosscroads.com is a great site for coal burning enthusiasts

I have posted on here multiple times about my coal stove which is happy at home alone all day and uses no electricity.

We had that happen here in Branch County, Michigan some years ago. With the same result, it was in court a few years but the oil company insurance company had to buy the house and tear it down. They couldn't get rid of the oil smell to make it habitable again.
