welcome to the forum....

here is a thread with about 18 pages of discussion on lighting a stoker. cowboy charcoal, can with kindling, charcoal soaked in lighter fluid, wood pellets, etc. block off the end of the grates, cover the air holes with whatever you are using to start it up, turn on the combustion blower and hit it with the propane torch. sprinkle rice coal over it when it catches pretty good and turn on the feed motor. you have the coaltrol so you probably have some settings to punch up to turn on the fan and feed motor. somebody will be along to tell you what they are shortly i am sure.
