DO NOT BURN WET COAL

To start a re, you rst 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 accelerated
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 control. Place some crumbled newspaper and ne
kindling (6" to 8" long), or wood pellets and starter gel, on the grate and ignite. You'll want to have a hot
active re, then start adding some rice coal on top of it. Once a good coal re is burning, the feed motor
can be turned on and the coal re 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 reaching one inch from the end of the grate. Too high of a feed rate will
push unburned coal off the coal grate, therefore not allowing a complete burn.
After the re is burning and the feed rate is adjusted, you can now set the thermostat to the desired
temperature.
Adjust feed rate by turning adjuster clockwise to increase
and counterclockwise to decrease. Each complete turn will
move the re 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 movement of one dot would
give a low burn, two dots medium and three dots high. Lock
the adjuster with the wing nut after adjusting.
