Those extra costs make the fuel more expensive than coal, but the effect is small at about a 30% premium over coal at 2020 prices. Since all solid fuels are bulky and heavy, in the home they need to be carried to the fireplace, and stored in a convenient place near the house, typically in a coal bunker .

In 1810, 176,000 short tons of bituminous coal, and 2,000 tons of anthracite coal, were mined in the United States. American coal mining grew rapidly in the early 1820s, doubling or tripling every decade. Anthracite mining overtook bituminous coal mining in the 1840s; from 1843 through 1868, more anthracite was mined than bituminous coal.

A coke oven at a smokeless fuel plant, Abercwmboi, South Wales, 1976. The industrial production of coke from coal is called coking. The coal is baked in an airless kiln, a "coke furnace" or "coking oven", at temperatures as high as 2,000 °C (3,600 °F) but usually around 1,000–1,100 °C (1,800–2,000 °F). [2]
Producer gas is generally made from coke, or other carbonaceous material [2] such as anthracite. Air is passed over the red-hot carbonaceous fuel and carbon monoxide is produced. The reaction is exothermic and proceeds as follows: Formation of producer gas from air and carbon: C + O 2 → CO 2, +97,600 calories/mol
