coal bob, welcome to the forum. The coal fire looks good. Don't be afraid to load it up to the top of the fire bricks. It will perform better. A deeper charge is great for keeping the coal well ignited for a long burn. Having a shallow fire bed could lead to it going out on you. Just a suggestion from observing your picture. Good job! keep it going and keep us posted.
