Woke up this morning to find it 73 degrees in the house but the coaltrol is set 69 deg. FR is currently at 31 on the coaltrol. Anyone have similar issues with either the ak110 or coatrol?
21 degrees outside with little wind.
AK110 Runaway Furnace?

That is not a run away. You can play with CFM on the coal trol as coal heat takes a little while to respond. You will get used to it. Sometimes coal heat requires a little patience. I assume your stove is in the basement but where is your thermostat. I put mine in the living room.

Doh!!!! Last night I hit the override and turned Coaltrol up to 72 from 69 but did this after the nighttime set back time was in effect so it ran at that temp until 5:30 this morning!!
