I am new to stokers, and just picked up an older used one. I have a few questions, and figured I would post them here since keystoker isnt open today.
-There appear to be small holes around the door opening. Looks like the convection blower blows air through them. Whats this for?
-When looking in the door next to the chute where the coal burns there is a large square block. The block is one one side between the chute and the chamber wall, but appears to be missing on the other side???
-My stove has the combustion blower and the stoker wired together. There is a fan limit switch for the blowers, a temp switch in the flue, and leads for a thermostat, but there doesnt appear to be any timer to control the idle. How did this setup control idle?
Thanks for any input.
