We can't get that 1st Coal you used, I light My Coal Stove by starting a Hard Wood Fire, then add Real Coal! If you want to Spend Money and make it easier for yourself, By Match Light Charcoal, start your Coal Fire with that.........Much Easier!

I worked in an open pit coal mine at Hanna, Wyoming. 1978-1979 was a very cold winter, our propane furnace never shut off for 6 months. Our son was born Sept. 1979 and I knew I needed more heat in the house. We found a new pot belly stove in Rawlins, Wyoming and installed it by November. I was allowed to drive my '55 Ford into the coal pit and load up with chunks up to one foot diameter that I would break down to about 6 inch chunks for the stove. This was the most affordable heating system I ever used. I heated mainly with coal until 1988 when the coal mine shut down and I moved and sold the home. I still use bituminous coal for blacksmith forge but to expensive to use for heat. Never found anthracite coal near enough to be affordable. To bad sure is a pretty flame.

@samuelfellows692325 күн бұрын
Looks like a ‘dropped’ chimney funnel; possibly the secondary combustion air goes down the outside of said funnel pre-heated by it and washes down the door windows and introduced at the top of the fire pit

@johnerway72552 жыл бұрын
One of the coals used is soft and the other is hard, Soft coal (Bituminous) hard coal (Anthracite). The stove is designed for burning hard coal, that coal burns in the bed and has very low volatile matter. Where as the Bituminous has a high volatile matter and during combustion distils that matter off into a combustible gas. This gas burns above the coal fire bed in the above space. Soft coal is used in boilers equipped with under feed stokers, feeding the raw coal from below the fire upward. You have a very cool stove. Thanks for showing it to us.

@the4527klaus3 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't call it dangerous but pavman 1000 is absolutely right. Coal burns from the bottom up. Start with a small wood fire, when that is well established then you add a small amount of coal onto that. Once those coals get going you can add a full load of coal and close up the stove. You need the fire on the bottom where the shaker grate is so you can shake out the ashes from time to time. Coal stoves are designed with the air vents on the bottom to regulate the fire. The stove will work alot better if start the coal this way.
