Anybody from the UK? Have some questions about heating your home. We're moving to a rural area and are considering solid fuel but the U.S. seems to out of touch with solid fuels. Anybody use a solid fuel boiler?

I'm from the UK, and my heating system is gas fired radiators. My partner who lives in the highlands of Scotland has a solid fuel heating system though because theres no gas where he is because it's quite remote.
Once his coal fire is lit and the water is hot, theres a pump that he opens up and that distributes the hot water around his radiators and it's toasty!
The only downside to a coal fire is it can be quite cold in the mornings once the fire has went out, then you have to clean it out and start again, unlike my heating that can be set to come on with a timer.
That reminds me, i must pack my bed socks when i go up there next weekend
