If you've been looking, you'll find that coal stoves seem harder to find.  It's no illusion.  Coal as a fuel source for residential heating has waned, and that's very unfortunate. It's unfortunate because anthracite coal is an excellent fuel, an American resource, and has shown remarkable price stability and value in terms of BTU/$.  So why has popularity of coal dropped?  Like wood, some people feel it's messy, or too much work.  Of course, people had the luxury to feel that way during good economic times and low energy prices when turning up the thermostat was a 'no-brainer'.  Another concern was that EPA regulations for emissions from wood stoves impacted sales for those consumers that wanted the flexibility of burning both fuels. This had the effect of forcing many consumers to choose a wood stove or a coal stove and not a combination stove.  Most chose wood.

As more people come to realize that a new energy sensitive era is emerging, coal will probably be recognized for it's value and availability, and manufacturers will turn to create more coal stove models. 

Currently, we carry Hitzer and Morso coal stoves, and several furnaces that can burn coal.  For 2007, we will also be carrying Hitzers more basic stoves which are priced so attractively, they remind us of days gone by.

We no longer carry Harman coal stoves.
