bigbulls - When you burn coal how much do you put in the stove? How much do you use for a week of hunting? I don't have the oven either, although I'm considering ordering one. Do you have any experience with the ovens and how they work?

The first time I used mine I made a real bonehead mistake, and got a real education. I thought that I would put myself ahead of the game and not have to cut wood in my hunting area if I took it with me. I cut, split and transported half a cord of WV Red Oak to Wyoming. Much to my amazement I found out that the Red Oak barely burned and gave off almost no heat at 8,000 feet. Apparently there is not enough oxygen at that elevation to burn the denser oak. I was able to get it to burn by mixing it with Lodgepole Pine that I cut the next day, but that first night was a cold one!
