Looking at replacing my add-on wood furnace with a wood-coal furnace, looking for suggestions, so far I'm looking at the Amish made Kozy King from D S, just doing my research and would welcome any input
Does Anyone Heat with Anthracite Coal

I have. I have a Shelter Wood/Coal add on furnace. It uses either. I have tried it in the past and find it works fine. Provides more heat but I really don't need anymore heat than I currently have using wood. It's more expensive in my case than wood. I burn 36" logs that are around 12-14" in diameter. I might use coal if the temps get below zero for long periods over night where I can run a half a bag per night to keep the heat longer.

I've been heating with wood for about 28 years, my wood add on furnace need to be replaced, been taking a hard look a the Kozy King fron D S Stove, Amish built in PA. Burns either wood or Anthracite coal at 85% efficiency, looks pretty good

If you want a simple but tough option, go for the Kozy King. But if you’re after a bit more refinement in coal burning, the Hitzer is definitely worth considering. You're good either way though. Just make sure that whatever you choose has good draft control and isn’t a pain to clean out during the season.

I've been kicking them all around, doing a lot of research. I think the cozy king would work best for me. I can burn wood or coal with good efficiency
