The type of automatic coal boiler you desire depends upon where you live.
If you live in the Northeast where folks use anthracite coal, I'd look for a stoker boiler made by the Keystone Manufacturing Company
(Brand: Keystoker) or by Electric Furnace Man. Both are well established companies.
If you live in areas where you can buy bituminous coal, then you might want a boiler made by Chippewa Trader of Utah(formerly Stokermatic).
If you live in areas where you buy lignite or sub-bituminous coal, I'd look into a Decker Brand Boiler(made by a Hutterite Colony in Canada). Also, the Chippewa Trader Boiler will burn these fuels.
All of these companies have an internet prescence or have distributors who have websites.
