The guy I bought it from said he's had it in his dehumidified basement for 23 years and he never got around to hooking it up. He bought it after the first owner used it a handfull of times.
He moving and had to get rid of it. So I'm the proud owner of this thing now.

That is some junky looking bit coal. Those red/yellow pieces are "bone" I'm not sure if its clay of some sort or a chalk but I know for a fact it doesn't burn and will get caught in the grates. When I burned bit in my vigilant I had to be very careful not to put any of that junk in it.
Got down in the lower 40s last night so I fired it up to see how it burn. Burned really well! It stunk pretty bad the first couple hours. Not inside , but outside. Added a little every half hr. For the first couple hours. Then just closed it up and let it burn. Threw alot of heat. Good draft as well.

You can burn the fines. Just throw a shovel full on at a time for now.
Edit. The load door air vent is very important with bituminous. Open it up with a fresh load to burn volitule gases. I would play around with it.
Thanks a lot Corey. I do have some fines. I do what you suggested. I also save all my little food boxes as well and will fill them with fines and throw it in here and there. Seems to work well. Better than wasting. Lol.
Interesting with that upper vent. I've aways just left it open all the time. I will have to try experiencing with it.
Thanks again.
