Feed Adjustment
Adjust feed rate by turning adjuster clockwise to
increase and counterclockwise to decrease. Each complete
turn will move the fire about 1".
The feed indicator on the side of the feeder shows how
far the pusher moves each stroke. There are dots above the
indicator spaced 1/8 " apart. A movment of one dot would
give a low burn, two dots medium and three dots high.
Lock adjuster with wing nut after adjusting.

"off" 12 minutes, extend timer 2 minutes. You may find that these
settings produce too much heat in pilot mode. If so, you can reduce
the "on" time and increase the "off" time. However, be aware that
you can go too far and have the fire go out. It is best to adjust one
minute at a time.
To start a fire you first pour rice coal into the hopper. With the
thermostat turned up and the stoker running, the coal will begin to
feed onto the grate inside the stove. This process can be speeded up
by adjusting the feed rate to the maximum position. When the coal
starts to come up out of the grate and is almost up to the area where
the holes start, turn the feed rate back to about 3/8" and turn off the
feed motor with the switch on the side of the stoker. Place some
crumbled newspaper and fine kindling (6" to 8" long) on the grate and
ignite. When kindling is burning good, add some rice coal on top of
it. After the coal is burning, the feed motor can be turned on and the
coal fire will continue to get larger. Fresh coal will continue to be
pushed onto the grate and ashes will be pushed off the grate. The
feed rate must be adjusted so the coal is burned up and turned to
ashes before the coal gets one inch from the end of the grate. Too
high a feed rate will push unburned coal off the coal grate, therefore
