SUGGESTIONS FOR BURNING ANTHRACITE COAL
RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1.With coal it is important to maintain a clean chimney. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during heating season.
2.Keep the grate clear of ash and cinders. Use the shaker grate to keep the ashes from building up in the firebox.
3.Do not operate the unit with the ash door, feed door, or cabinet door open.
4.Anthracite coal burns with a short, blue flame with the coals having a glowing, red color. Before adding coal, when starting the fire, have a good hot log fire burning.
5.After having a log fire burning, add small amounts of coal until a bed of coal is built up.

1.The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the heater flue collar. Install addi- tional pipe and elbow with the CRIMPED END TOWARD THE HEATER. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the heater.
2.Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of horizontal run.
3.You must have at least 18 inches of clearance between any horizontal pip- ing and the ceiling.
4.The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue. (Fig. 8)
5.Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.
6.Use 3 Sheet Metal screws at each joint to make the piping rigid.
7.It is recommended that no more than two 90 degree bends be used in the stovepipe installation as more than two may decrease the amount of draw and possible, use only corrugated
8.The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustive construction.
The draft wheel located on the feed door should be opened when burning coal. The draft wheel provides a source of secondary air that is needed when burning coal. Secondary air is needed because when coal burns, it gives off large quantities of volatile gases that need additional air before complete combustion can occur. This draft wheel may be adjusted to give the best performance depending on the particular needs of the user.
