##########!!!!!!!!!!SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!##########
Today the meter reading was 283.6 - 276.0 = 7.6 hours over the past 24.
7.6hrs x 11 pound/hr = 83.6 pounds of coal over the last day.
Removed 18 pounds of ash.
This afternoon I switched back over to the Yellow Flame. I want to get a few more days data on it before the realy cold weather leaves us.
Gave it a cleaning.
Checked the feed rate. Feed rate 3 is 10 pounds per hour, feed rate 4 is 13 pounds per hour. Currently running on feed rate 3.
Switched over the stovepipe and the aquastat.
And fired it up!!!
After 2 hours of running the stack temp is a mere 240 degrees? I thought it was higher then that under these conditions. The continuous Keystoker blower is off, I wonder if that has something to do with it?
The grates have the first three holes furnace cemented shut.
Current settings;
Feed rate= 3 (Third lowest, 10 pounds per hour)
Air= Only one flap, closed most of the way.
Timer= 20 minute cycle, 5%, 60 seconds ON
Aquastat= 155/175, 10 degree dif
Draft= -.02 at idle, Baro opening point -.04
