COAL USE OVERVIEW
A coal fire is much more challenging to start and is more difficult to manage than a wood fire or gas burner� Simply getting
anthracite coal burning requires an ignition source in excess of 900 °F that is usually provided by a bed of burning charcoal� Dry
wood by comparison burns more quickly and starts burning at around 450 °F� Coal has roughly twice the heat/energy potential
of wood (13,000 BTU/hr per pound for coal versus roughly 6,500 BTU/hr per pound for wood) so accessing and managing its
potential energy when and where you need it can be challenging�
Unlike a wood fire, a coal fire will not let you stir its fire or move it around without consequence� Balancing the open flame of a
coal fire with the intensity of the coal bed becomes the daily challenge� If you load too much fuel, the intensity of the fire will melt
metal along with your pizza� If you load too little fuel, you will find yourself starting all over to recapture the intense heat you lost
by letting the coal fire burn too long without attention�

COAL-FIRED OVEN OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
The typical desired hearth temperature for Wood Stone coal-fired ovens is 550-580 °F�
CAUTION:
Over firing the oven with coal
may cause damage to the oven ceramics� If the oven hearth temperature is above 850 °F, or flames exit the doorway or flue of
the oven, you are over firing� Only use anthracite coal—see notes contained earlier in this manual�
