Does anyone do it? I'm just curious, I'm thinking it's gotta be easier Labor wise than wood. Is it efficient? Pros and cons?

Either way I'm looking for an oil burner for next season lol

Im an oil guy myself but was told that you cant use coal or waste oil to fuel the rig.

Back when I use too have a small operation we would use some coal mixed with wood that was not as dry as it should have been. We had forced draft too it made for a hot fire!

I made my rig to use two Keystoker hard coal stoker units. Works great

I mix coal with wood. Coal was free and does a great job of heating. I get about 10 gph on a converted oil tank with flat pans. Very happy with coal as fuel source to augment the wood.
