My AK180 is getting maxed out on one lane grate (sigh), what is the easiest way to light the second one without starting again. I know how to turn it on with the coal -trol I'm talking lighting technique.

Small coal shovel. Use the govt system of take from one and give to the other. Then throw another shovel of coal on top of that .

Oh so it's the govt system.

Take one small shovelful,. Give three shovelfuls of that same coal away for free. Float the one shovelful as equity on Fanny/Freddie and give everyone who can't be bothered to shovel anything anywhere the same shovelful and offer to shovel it into their stove for free. If they promise to vote democrap at least three times, give them a free stove to shovel it into. YOu get it. etc.etc.

No windy, right now it's 60* and I've even let Wizard go out. There are two AnthraKing combustion fan speeds off and on. I've installed the Wings Best yesterday (thx dlj) and it's too warm to light it. Did a charcoal paint burn off to be ready (phew that stinks even with the attic fan flat out). I really wanted winter to come until I looked at snow pics of Maine. That is OK I will wait, don't send that chit down here yet. The scars of last winter have not yet healed.'
