ofappearance.First,becauseofthewoodpelletsmixedin,

away,andsomecoalbeginstoignite,youryellowameswill
shortenandmixwithblueames.Afterthewoodpelletsare
goneandthecoalistheonlythingburning,you'llseemostly
blueames,whichcanbeinvisibleinabrightlylitarea.As
theresettlesin,you'llhaveaboutatwoinchbandofhot
burningcoalsrunningacrossthegrates.Withamaximum
temperature demand, the ideal feed rate setting will put
this band approximately 1-2 inches back from the end of
the grates. Allow at least an hour of burn time between
