COAL USE OVERVIEW
OVENS EQUIPPED FOR COAL BURNING
Ovens with “-CL” in the model number are equipped to burn coal� These ovens are equipped with a blower and plenum beneath
the oven that provides combustion air to the coal-fire through a grate installed in the oven deck� The coal fire must be built on
this grate inside the cooking chamber of the oven� Use the blower control on the front of the oven to control the rate of air being
supplied to the coal fire by the Coal Blower Fan�
As the coal burns, ash and debris will drop through the grate down into the air plenum below� To remove accumulated ash,
open the Ash Chute door on the front of the oven, and using the ash rake provided with the oven� rake the ash and debris into a
suitable steel container� Store the ash container in a safe place until the ash has cooled and can be disposed of�
All coal burning ovens must be vented as solid fuel equipment!
See information below�
USE COAL FUEL ONLY. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS OVEN.
TO ENSURE CLEANEST EMISSIONS POSSIBLE, USE ONLY HIGH QUALITY ANTHRACITE COAL. MANY VARIETIES
OF COAL CONTAIN CHEMICAL IMPURITIES THAT CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN CERAMIC. USING ANTHRACITE COAL
MINIMIZES THE CHANCE OF CHEMICAL DAMAGE TO THE OVEN CERAMIC. USE OF ANY COAL OTHER THAN
ANTHRACITE COAL WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE OVEN CERAMIC AND MAY LEAD TO INCREASED PARTICULATE
AND OTHER EMISSIONS FROM THE OVEN WHEN COAL IS USED.
CLEAN THE ASH CHUTE DAILY TO PREVENT BUILD UP OF ASH AND DEBRIS.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BLOWER UNIT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE RADIANT FLAME BURNER TO IGNITE THE COAL FIRE.
COAL SHOULD BE STORED AND HANDLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED IN NFPA 96.
The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require creosote or soot removal� The oven flue and exhaust system will require
inspection and cleaning� The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned per the manufacturer's and/or local code official's
recommendations�
Dispose of ash per the following: place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid� The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal� They
should be retained in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled� Ashes can then be disposed of safely�
If at any time you feel the gas components of the oven are not operating properly, turn the oven off, shut off the gas supply and
call Wood Stone at 1�800�988�8103 to arrange for service�
