Ive been looking around for a while now for a coal stove to replace the one I have in my garage it is just to small to get the job done , Saw a add today for a wood stove $100 the add stated that he did not know what kind of stove it was ,So I called and went to take a look having a good feeling after our chat ,after going over the stove and feeling that this stove had not seen much burn time and was in really nice condition Shaker grate ,fire bricks and overall shape of the stove, we agreed on a price of $60. Tomorrow I will be switching the stoves out after giving a good going over on the warm morning ,I have to thank all the contributors here to this site because most of all my questions have been answered by doing a search here about these stoves and also finding a OEM manual here and a probable parts sorce for the warm morning stoves ,But I do have a few more questions hoping that someone will chime in about warm moring stoves , I plan on burning Nut because that is what I am currently burning in my home , So I am looking to find out about setting up this warm morning model 617 stove to burn nut , as far as air setting and any other tips or insight of the learning curve on burning hard coal in a warm morning stoves ....Thanks for reading

I think your stove holds 60 pounds. Nut coal is the right size. You should install a barometric damper to keep air setting uniform with changes in chimney draft. Other than that it should be only a matter of keeping an eye on it until you get familiar with how it behaves. Operation will be similar to other hand fired stoves.

I have the Warm Morning Model 400. Funny thing is I got mine for $60 too, off of Craig's List. Great stove. Mine I believe is bigger than yours, but the functionality is the same. I can get about 100 pounds inside. I have burned everything from pea up to stove with no real problems. Because the bed is so deep it burns really well, but I have recently discovered that you need to keep the stack temp no higher than say 325 degrees. Any hotter and you will be making clinkers like nobody's business. Prior to dropping the temp down the stove died about every 2 weeks because of the huge clinkers that would form in the bottom. Things are much better now! :-)
