<p>[QUOTE=&quot;patd8643, post: 888111, member: 5195&quot;]Yep, wondering if it was used in the fireplaces instead of furnaces.</p><p>In the farmhouse where I was raised, we had a whole room in the basement with a coal chute into it where coal was stored.&nbsp; The furnace must have been 4 or 5&#039; in diameter with a lot of &#039;arms&#039; coming off.&nbsp; We took turns loading / stoking the furnace - what a job.&nbsp; The furnace was installed in the &#039;30s.&nbsp; Until then, fireplaces (in every room) were used.&nbsp; It was considered a great improvement to have radiators![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
