I did a search and found some great info on large coal beds. I will be incorporating some of the techniques to try and mitigate my issue. A search for HI 300 didn't reveal anyone with the same qustion.
I have a problem getting the stuf at the back of the box to burn well. Even if I have a great fire going and throw some new wood in I can see it is dark at the back of the box. What I get is ash at the front third, coal ash mix middle third and coal in the back. I checked the glass and door gasket and it is pretty tight. I adjusted the door handle to tighten up a bit more. I can't help but think I am getting too much air at the front and not enough at the back.
Could the baffles be clogged.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
