Hi yall, for my first night of burning coal i had a good hot fire burning nice had 40# of Anthracite nut coal in there, BUT it started getting to hot in the house so i shut down the draft once and waited about an hour and it was still too hot so i shut it down more, problem is i shut it down too far and it went to a dull red bed of coals by morning and no heat i shook it and opened up the mpd and both drafts wide open but it was a gonner, left it go for about an hour and checked it again and it was worse than before, SO i pushed it in a pile in the back of the stove and piled up my charcoal in front and lit it and now that its hot i drug some of the coal back to the front and some on top the charcoal to get it fired back up, now when i get it hot again does anybody know where about to set the controls on this furnace?? picture is below its new so i dont know much about setting it for coal. thank you
PS: the ash door has a spin out draft that comes out about an inch and the feed door has a low med high slide draft on it. also i had the ash door draft shut down to about a 1/4 inch last night when it died and the feed door draft closed and the mpd closed
sorry for the long post
