I prefer firewood. I guess that�s because we have an unlimited supply whereas coal we�d have to buy
It does the same job too though I�m not sure it�s "fuel efficient" compared to coal.
Wood berns at 375, coal at 850. Anthracite coal burns for 6-8 hours at least, usually longer. Wood has to be constantly restoked.
Both get you/your hands dirty. Wood you have to fool with all day long, but coal only gets you dirty 2X per day and you can relax and forget it between times - put your shorts/bikini on and kick back in front of the cracked window, wave at the neighbors shoveling their sidewalk and freezing, ROFL !!
