hello,
My blower and coal auger are one unit out of my coal stoker. in other words they don't run seperatly. In the pictures ive seen there are seperate outlets
for the forsed air into the house, the blower for the coal, and the auger itself. Will a coaltrol unit work for me? The old Honeywell controls are wearing out and
we are freezing or being run out of the house.
thx.
Will Coal-Trol Work W/ Stoker That Has One Motor for the Auger and Blower?

Yes, a make and model of your stove would be helpful for all
I would think the Coaltrol should be able to be adapted to any stove, you might have to modify the blower/stoker unit so they run separately, since the Coaltrol has separate plug in's for Stoker, Combustion Blower and convection blower.

jonroy,
For systems that have the combustion fan and fuel feed (auger or otherwise) operated from the same motor, the Coal-trol is compatible. This mode is selectable from the Coal-trol thermostat. For historical reasons we refer to this mode as "Tri-Burn".
In general, operation with separate combustion blower and fuel feed is the preferred method, because this eliminates the need for making stroke adjustments, and for setups that have an electronic speed adjustment on the combustion/feed motor, the combustion air is poorly proportioned when changing motor RPM. That is to say at slower RPMs not enough combustion air is supplied.
