Maximizing Heat From Coal In The Home
Experts advise keeping heat absorbing surfaces free of soot and dust as it raises efficiency. Clean hot air pipes improve heat transfer, and circulating air heats faster than still impure air. Changing house air once an hour yields maximum heat from coal, and moist heated air feels as comfortable as drier air at higher temperatures.
