Types of Coal
There are three main types of coal approved for use in a HEATMOR™ furnace. They are Pennsylvania
anthracite, Eastern Canadian bituminous and Western Canadian sub-bituminous.
Coal can vary in size by grade. Use “stove” coal or a similar size. Smaller sizes may restrict airow and larger
sizes may not burn efciently, if at all.
Please follow all local laws concerning the storage and burning of coal. Contact your local dealer for
further information on the types of coal available in your local area.
Coal as a Fuel
Coal, as a fuel, requires more “under grate air” for burning coal. Each
type of coal, whether hard or soft will burn differently, which produces
different quantities of ash. For burning coal in the HEATMOR™
furnaces, the air restrictor should be removed from the combustion air
restrictor tube that goes between the airbox and the ash pan. Remove
the blower ipper assembly and pry the air restrictor out with a pry bar.
This will allow adequate under grate airow for burning coal. (Refer
to airboxes or contact your local dealers for further information on
burning coal.) Depending on coal type and airow needs, an optional
“Air Block Off” can be installed into the airbox to force all air through
the ashpan.
Handling and Storage of Coal
Some types will absorb water and expand; therefore it is recommended
that coal must be kept dry.
Loading Coal into the HEATMOR™
Coal may be easily fed into the HEATMOR™ Furnace with a small metal
scoop shovel. With some experimentation you will determine the proper
lling technique, amounts and frequency of loading for your HEATMOR™
furnace while burning coal. Load coal to the bottom of the rebox door
frame ll line.
Air restrictor tube holds the air restrictor.
