Anthracite coal is an excellent fuel source, especially for emergencies. Unlike wood, there are no problems with bugs, rodents, or rot, and it takes up much less space. Anthracite coal is a cleaner and safer option, making it the easiest, safest, and most economical emergency fuel source. It comes prewashed and in 40 lb. bags, making it easy to handle and store. It is also environmentally friendly since it burns with virtually no smoke or emissions, producing no soot or creosote buildup in your chimney/flue, and it can even be burned on a no burn day.

One pallet of Anthracite coal (4'Wx4'Hx4'D) has the same BTU value as 2 cords (8'Wx4"Hx8'D) of western pine or 1 1/2 cords of Oak, which means it takes up one-third to one-fourth of the space as wood, and you won't have to clean your flue at all. Anthracite coal is also less expensive than other fuel sources like propane. One pallet of Anthracite Coal costs $665.00, which is less expensive than two true cords of seasoned pine at $675.00 or 1 1/2 true cords of seasoned hardwood at $850.00+. And the best part is you can store as much as you want.
