5 Reasons to Use Anthracite

  • Hotter

    Anthracite burns hotter than gas, oil, pellets or wood.
    Anthracite produces an even heat and a higher level of BTU’s compared to other fuels.

  • Cleaner

    Anthracite burns very clean with virtually no smoke or particulate emissions.
    Anthracite emissions are below the EPA’s minimum/maximum requirements making anthracite one of the cleanest burning heating fuels available.

  • Cost-Effective

    Anthracite is one of the most economical heating fuel sources available.
    The cost per million BTUs for anthracite stoves is lower than gas, oil, electric, wood or pellet stoves. *Visit our website to see the “Fuel Cost Calculator” for comparison.

  • Safer

    There is no risk of a chimney fire due to creosote build up as anthracite does not produce any creosote.
    There are no worries about gas or fuel leaks and anthracite is ideal for long-term storage.

  • Easier

    It comes in convenient 40 pound handled bags making it easy to carry.
    Anthracite stoves require less maintenance and have fewer parts to replace than other stove types.

Responsible, Affordable Energy

Anthracite is environmentally friendly.

  • All mining is done on previously mined land that is completely reclaimed and restored.
  • We replenish forest land on old mine sites.
  • Mining re-establishes erosion and sedimentation controls that allow rain water to flow to streams naturally.
