I've never seen one like this run, how does it work? Does coal fall into that round burn pot off a platform and then ash is funneled out the bottom?? Gimme a quick crash course please

It's an underfed stoker, the auger turns slowly and moves fresh coal upwards in the pot. Air is forced in through the holes in the grates. Once the coal burns the ash accumulates on the ash ring and eventually falls off into the ash pan.

OMG, I thought you sat on it when you needed relief form bad Mexican food. Pot sizes should be about your belt size. WOW.

The bigger ones rotate, giving you a 360 degree view of the room!

I'm busy applying windowstat heating modifications. I overdid it last night. I know, I know, the real stuff is coming soon.

Where is the magazine rack? Is this what they mean when they talk about having a magazine in my coal stove?

Actually, you need to be careful sitting on the big ones, because some of them have assh removal systems.

Sadly, mine are not that big these days (they never were), I would be fine. I guess other posters can tell we have the Xmas spirit. For those of you that were offended and wanted me to use the word holiday, tough chit.

Had to crank the DS up this weekend. It was idling at 350* all weekend and the house was hovering between 68*-70*. I said forget this, bumped it to 460* now the house is a comfy 76*. Take that mother nature.

This thread needs to be retitled, the COAL weather is here. Not as cold here as you Mainiacs, but still warrants the black rocks to be burnin. Runnin in the teens this morning. Happy New Years (Eve) people.
