Hitzer 30-95 Stove Review - Tips, Myths and My Experience Burning Coal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2022
- I recently purchased a Hitzer 30-95 gravity fed coal burning stove. It puts out a lot of heat and I'm very happy with it. Its a very quality piece and Hitzer is regarded by many as having the best stoves in the industry. Watch this video to see how I operate the stove, pros and cons, and avoid some pitfalls along the way.

If youd like an easier time lighting the stove this season charcoal is the way to do it. Get a small bag of match light put a layer in about 2 brickets deep then add a small shovels worth of coal on top of it. Make sure you can still see the charcoal. Light it, give it 10-15 min add some more coal continue til you have a bed of lit coal normally a total of 3 times before you can just dump a bucket full in the top and your up and running. Been doing it that way since I was a kid takes about 30 min to be able to dump the first bucket in and forget about it
I've had awesome luck using match light
I use lump charcoal and a fire starter stick. Works great.
What's your burn time with a full hopper? I heard 25hrs on 40lbs? That's pretty good. How much coal will it hold? Thanks! I saw a gent below mention match light. That works great! Couple shovels full and you're in business.
what are the stove settings front and back and what are the stove and pipe temperature while running those settings and do you have a damper installed.
Which way does the hopper go to. Faceing front or back???
how'd it go with the stove this winter?
Thanks for this video. Do you burn wood on the shoulder seasons or just to light the coal? Do you take the hopper out to burn wood? Would love to see another video of you doing a daily tending of the stove, update on how it's doing etc. Thanks.
I currently only burn wood to start it. I do take the hopper out. Hitzer did recommend a larger stove for wood use. There isn't a lot of room in there. I'm a total amateur at this. We will see how it does in the shoulder seasons. That might be good video to shoot. It's been in the mid-50s the last few days. I throttled it back and had the house in the low 70s burning coal. We will see how it does.
@@alclark222222 Thanks. Would love to see an update video later this spring to see how it went. I know someone who has the same stove and he handles burning wood by actually leaving the hopper in and feeding smaller chunks of wood through it once he has a fire established. If you are willing to cut your wood smaller that could work for you as well if you wanted to.
Hey bud do an idea why my house smells coal and especially when the fan is on . I have an alaskan coal stove 45,000 btu
Can you get that stove to be Hud approved for manufactured homes? I live in WV, and live in a newer manufactured home (double wide), if I put any type of coal, or wood stove in my home, it has to be Hud approved or my insurance will drop us.
Hello from easthern Europe.
How much coal do you need in a winter season ? How cold is where you live ?
I don't know if I'll will get a coal stove or a wood stove. The gas is very expensive and will be more. Lignite coal cost 120 dollars/tone, anthracite coal cost 300 us dollars/tone and dry oak is around 200 us dollars/tone. So i don't know how much coal I will use to warm my house for a winter. So, for 2.5 tones of dry oak I will pay the same amount of money like for 2 tones of anthracite coal. I think wood is a better idea, but I'm not sure.
What is the lowest temperature on the stove can you burn at without burning out
11000 BTUs
how does that miners choice coal burn for you thanx and happy ,safe burning.
Not Great.. Will not buy again if I can help it. I like the larger nut sized anthracite. Some odor, not as easy to start, smaller... I wondered it was the run or if its all like that.
thanx for the reply tsc sells there premium nt coal and its kimmels and that is a better burning coal if you have acces to that give that a try thanx again.
Don’t dick around starting it. Throw in a good layer of Matchlight charcoal… let it get burning good and start tossing in nut coal.
Also it gave a bad headache cause of the smell
Can you get the top of the stove hot enough so you can cook in the event of a power outage? My local supply store wants $6.50 for a 40 pound bag of coal. You say that lasts for 24 hours. That's just over $200 a month to heat. My natural gas has gone way up but is still cheaper than this bagged coal. But I'm searching for a backup. Thanks for the video
You could probably heat up some soup or a pot of chili on it. I will say it does not have a lot of room on top. There is a lip that sticks off the front and air and get through the back of the stove. The fan pushed air through there nicely. If I really have it cranking it will start to boil the pot of water. It never comes to a full boil in my experience.
Your house must be very well insulated and you have me questioning mine. Or the efficiency of my furnace... We go through about 2 500 gallon tanks of LP on a mild winter. Two and a top off if it gets to be really cold. We keep our house about 66-67 degrees. We let the stove do its thing and we've burned 11 % of a tank from the third week of January into the first week of March. The furnace kicked on some on cold nights or a few days the stove went out when we were away. About 60 gallons used roughly. I figured if we used this stove 120 days a season at $7 a bag. We'd keep our house toasty in the mid-70s for $840 a year the furnace can run off electric on the warmer days. We're using a good $1500-2000 and the house is much colder when we run propane.
I'm not a full blown prepper but I do like this a a supplement if we were to have a bad ice storm or blizzard. Not ideal to cook on.
@@alclark222222 Thank you for such a detailed response. The more research I do, makes me lean towards the Chubby Coal stove. I've always burned wood but what a pain. I'm getting to old for all that hard work. I just recently found out about anthracite coal. Everyone seems to love their coal burners. So I'm going to get some kind of stove that uses the anthracite. Stay warm and safe.
Coal is much cheaper if you can buy it by the ton; it's far cheaper in areas near coal mines.
@@markb9160 I'm about 6.5 hours away from any anthracite coal mine. Would be cheaper for me to just buy it in the bags from a Tractor Supply store 12 miles down the road
gas has up and down temp swings coal doesnt its a steady non stop heat.
That pan of water on the top is absolutely worthless to keep humidity in the house.. what you really need is a good hydrometer like the mini thermopro meter so you can see your actual humidity, then you can get an actual humidifier that puts out 2.5-5 gallons per day and that might take the edge off.. even with that you'll probably have trouble keeping above 28% in the coldest months because the outside air is simply so dry and every bit of chimney smoke going out the chimney is pulling dry air in from outside.. that little pan does absolutely nothing
This video is misleading! The thumbnail shows a cat and Bassett hound and there is a definite lack of both in this video! 😂 Great video otherwise!
I will review those animals soon! Stubborn, will not follow directions, cute, and you’re welcome.
Hitler sells stoves hmm
