CMN - 6/9/2024 11:55 I wonder why my ancestors all put fuel oil burners in their coal furnaces and converted their coal furnaces to oil burners?
Probably because its much easier and more convenient to pump liquid fuel into a house tank than it is to scoop coal. But maybe the obvious answer isn't good enough for you.
Its certainly not because fuel oil is cheaper BTU's than coal.
