While different sizes can be burned in most furnaces, don’t underestimate the impor tance of using the size—or combi nation of sizes—best suited to your leater to produce the most heat for the least money. The size of the ftrepot in your tirnace will, under ordinary cir cumstances, indicate the most et~ flcient size to use. With a ftrepot— or interior—24 inches in diameter and 16 inches deep, egg size is usually recommended; 18 to 23 nches diameter and 12 to 18 mches deep, stove or chestnut size; less than 16-inch diameter, chestnut size. Local climate, position of fur nace, size of chimney and house sometimes make it advisable to vary these sizes. To be sure of what size coal you use, I would suggest you have your dealer call and advise you which size, or sizes, will give you the greatest heat value at the most economical cost.
