e Reset Cycle allows the Forge to burn most types of coal properly and with
reduced smoke. Reset Cycle is used when the furnace has been loaded with
fresh fuel and the rebox door closed.
To activate Reset Cycle, press the Reset button. When the Reset button is
pressed after loading new fuel, the over and under air LEDs will illuminate
violet and gradually transition to red as the Reset Cycle runs and transitions to
Standard Run Mode.
During the Reset Cycle, the under air is slightly reduced and the over air
is increased. is is especially useful when burning bituminous coal which
requires secondary air.
Over a period of time, as the volatiles are burned o, the over air will gradually
reduce. As the over air is being turned down, the under air will gradually
increase. By the time the Reset Cycle is complete, volatiles will have been
burned o and the large amount of over air will no longer be required.
e Reset Cycle is fully adjustable allowing you to change not only the
duration of the Reset Cycle, but also the percentages at which the over and
under air open. is gives you the ability to ne-tune the outdoor furnace
to run as eciently as possible while reducing the amount of smoke present
when burning bituminous coal. Burning anthracite requires the full amount of
combustion air to be brought in beneath the fuel bed; in this case, all over air
settings are set to zero with the exception of the Purge setting.
When burning a fuel that
does not require over air
(such as anthracite), the
Reset button will typically
not be used.
