changes over the season as stated before. We do not advise turning the Dial Heat Regulator back
more than one number at night and usually it is more satisfactory to allow the heater to operate
with the setting in the same position day and night. It takes very little more fuel to maintain the
temperature than to bring it back to normal in the morning.
WARNING: IF STOVE OR FLUE CONNECTOR PARTS GLOW RED YOU ARE OVER
FIRING YOUR STOVE. DO NOT OVER FIRE. OVER FIRING CAN CAUSE A HOUSE
FIRE AND CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR STOVE. IF THE STOVE IS OVER
FIRING CLOSE AIR INTAKES AND DAMPERS TO SLOW DOWN THE BURN.
Adjusting Your Secondary Burn Chamber Damper:
The secondary burn chamber damper is the handle on the right side of the loading door that
closes down across the door. This damper closes the flue exit hole at the top of the firebox forcing
the smoke and combustion byproducts into the secondary burn chamber on the side of the stove.
They enter the chamber where the two bricks lay at an angle. As they travel up the chamber more
air is added to complete the combustion of the particles and gases that would normally pass up
and out the chimney. This increases the efficiency of the stove. This damper should be closed
once the fire is burning nicely.
Adjusting The Loading Door Spin Draft:
Air can also enter the fuel magazine through the spinner draft on the fuel door. This air is
normally used to help eliminate puffing. Puffing usually happens in the spring or fall of the year or
other times when not a lot of heat is needed. It is also during the first few hours after refueling. As
new fuel is starting there is a lot of volatile gas being driven out of it. Normally these gases just
burned off. However when the stove is turned down and not much heat is needed the thermostat
controlling the draft closes. The gases now have no oxygen to burn and there is very little air
movement through the stove causing the gases to build up. As the stove cools the thermostat
reopens. Now there is oxygen and the gases ignite causing a puff. Opening the draft spinner
keeps a small amount of air moving through the stove preventing this from happening. The draft
spinner can be left open at other times also because there is not enough air entering to cause
much difference in your heat output.
Shaking And Reloading:
When burning Anthracite coal, it will be necessary to shake the grates morning and
evening. Shaking should consist of short fast strokes. Continue shaking until small live coals are
falling into the ash pan the whole way along each grate. If you stop shaking with just a few red
coals falling into the ash pan the ash will build up on the grates causing the fire to be sluggish.
The fire will not want to burn well, heat output will drop, and the fire will possibly go out. Do not
permit ashes to remain piled high in the ash pan.
THERE MUST BE AN AIR SPACE OF A FEW
INCHES BETWEEN THE ASHES IN THE ASH PAN AND THE GRATE BARS TO PREVENT
DAMAGE, SUCH AS WARPING TO THE GRATE BARS THROUGH OVERHEATING.
REMEMBER, WHEN BURNING COAL THE ASH PAN SHOULD BE EMPTIED DAILY. AFTER
SHAKING MAKE SURE GRATES ARE SETTING FLAT WITH RIB DOWN. IF GRATES ARE
LEFT UPSIDE DOWN WITH RIB FACING UP OR NOT FLAT SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR. GRATES MAY WARP AND BECOME UNUSABLE.
Reloading with Anthracite coal now depends on how deep of a bed of burning coal is left in the
firebox. If there is a deep bed left you may be able to load the coal all at once. If there is a thin bed
of coal left you will have to add the coal in layers allowing each layer to ignite before adding
another. This is just as you did during start up.
