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.
CAUTION: Do not smother a fire when adding coal. Gases driven off from fresh coal must be burned or they may accumulate and explode. Whenever refueling, open the pipe damper and turn the thermostat damper to high before opening the door to allow any accumulated gases to be burned off. Â© 2015 Vogelzang International.
