It keeps the house nice and toasty and will go all night without issue. I get the coal for $50-70/1000 lbs and that will last me the whole cold season. I’ve never tried hanging a tree out the stove before... don’t know that I’m going to start soon either.

I wouldn't do that . Coal with any amount of moisture added ,and all seasoned wood still has moisture , coal produces sulfuric acid which will escape up the flue when burned alone but added to wood it will stick to the steel and flue causing damage. I have a multi field stove that I replaced with a wood only stove. I started a small wood fire let it coal over then add small amounts of coal . This was usually in fall and the coal never went out till spring

A cord around here is about $250-300 . I get my wood for free , but I've probably got 5k in just wood related tools .
I burn 5 to 6 cords a year
