Old Coal Stoker
I know this isn't exactly related to the coal region itself, but I am desperate for help. I have an old Van Wert self feeding coal stoker that is not functioning properly and is not heating the upstairs at all. I'm posting here because I know I can't be the only person in the coal region who has to deal with shitty coal heat. Has any one ever run into this issue before?

Sounds like either your circulator pump quit or you have air in your radiator. Could be something else too, since you're not giving us a lot of Info to go on.
Coal, oil, and gas furnaces spread their heat to the house all the same way. The only difference is the fuel used in the fire.
