Ash Collection
The grate can be riddled to encourage ash to fall into the ash pan by locating the right angled end of the stove
tool into the riddling actuating rod and using a push pull action to cause the grate to oscillate. The riddling rod is
located to either the left or right of the ash pan door dependant upon the model.
If it becomes necessary to riddle the stove while it is
operating, always riddle the stove before adding new
fuel. It is normal practice to riddle the grate and add
more fuel as one operation but it is very important
that the grate is riddled before adding more smokeless
coal. Putting a supply of coal, which will inevitably
contain some very small and easily heated pieces,
onto the fire will be putting it onto the hottest part
of the fire when the air supply is restricted by ash.
Although the volatile content is small it will, because
of the very restricted air flow, be undiluted and within
a few minutes quite a large volume may have been
produced, especially if something interrupts the
operation. The sudden ignition of this when the grate
is riddled and both air and heat are increased can at
best be alarming.
As well as being used to rearrange the fire bed, the poker is designed
to be used for clearing ash through the grate slots and this will be
found to be the most effective way of clearing wood ash when the fire
has burned out. If the fire has been running on anthracite coal, and the
stove has been over filled and under riddled, the poker may have to be
used to clear the grate of ash and partially burned coals.
Important
Do not allow the ash pan to over fill. This will cause ash to fall behind the ash pan as it is removed
and can prevent the ash pan from fitting correctly. Over filling the ash pan can prevent under
grate air reaching the fire which can cause poor operation and damage to the grate.
