8.7 SAFETY
Whenever a loading door is opened, it should always be
cracked slightly to allow oxygen to enter and burn any
combustion gases that are present before fully opening. Failure
to do this could result in sudden ignition of the unburned
gases when the door is opened.
A stove should never be filled with excess coal so that the
flue gas exit is blocked or impeded in any way. Burning coal
generates carbon monoxide.
If the flue gas exit is blocked,
the carbon monoxide can be forced out of the stove into
the room, with possibly fatal consequences.

Serious damage to the stove can occur from overheating.
Coal stoves should not be installed in any chimney that has
had a history of back-drafting or flow reversal. These conditions
can cause improper draft, resulting in carbon monoxide
entering the house rather than being drawn up the chimney.
rEmEmbEr! COAl gASES ArE TOXIC!
Sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide and other ions released from
coal burning may corrode stainless and masonry chimneys,
and even terra cotta chimney liners. Coal with high sulfur
content will destroy chimneys especially fast if soot sits in
the flue for extended lengths of time. It is important to clean
chimneys regularly.
