> how does coal (probably compressed, small chunk style) compare to wood for weight to thermal units for heating?
● Coal vs Wood - Heat Output by Weight
| Fuel Type | BTU per pound |
|----------------------------------|---------------|
| Anthracite coal | 12,500–15,000 |
| Bituminous coal | 10,500–14,000 |
| Seasoned hardwood (oak, hickory) | 6,000–8,600 |
| Softwood (pine, fir) | 4,000–6,000 |
Bottom line: Coal delivers roughly 1.5–2x more heat per pound than seasoned hardwood.
Practical considerations:
- Moisture matters: Wood BTU ratings assume ~20% moisture content. Wet wood can drop to half its potential output. Coal is essentially dry.
- Burn time: Coal burns much longer and more steadily than wood—less tending overnight.
- Ash: Anthracite produces less ash than bituminous; both produce far less ash than wood.
- Startup: Coal is harder to ignite—typically needs a wood kindling fire first.
- Storage: Coal is denser, so it takes less space per BTU (roughly 2–3x less volume than equivalent wood).
For small compressed chunks (like stoker coal or nut coal), you're likely looking at bituminous or anthracite in the 11,000–14,000 BTU/lb range—still significantly more energy-dense than wood by weight.
