Processing for #2 begins: February 11. As of March 2 (about 6 weeks total), awaiting results. If it's 6-8 weeks from processing time, I still have weeks to go. My own test took about 3 weeks from activation to completion, but that was a couple of years ago, so maybe there is a bigger backlog right now. Be the first to rate this.
Undo. kframe19. Yes, those kinds of fireplaces generally burned coal-depending on where you are they may well have burned lignite, which is a sort of in between peat and bituminous coal. The solid panels are a nice touch to have, still. Many times they've simply disappeared.
Preferred to Burn. Hardwoods that have seasoned at least 6 months. Properly seasoned wood looks a little darker than unseasoned wood, and has easily visible cracks in the grain. Maple, oak, birch, or ash are the best hardwoods to burn in your fireplace or stove. If you use manufactured woods, use only those made from 100% compressed sawdust with no chemical additives. Kindling should always consist of real wood, natural or organic fire starters, or newspaper without colored ink.
