I think I need to adjust my lower door. I think that is where I am getting the smokey odor from. Is there a particular way to check if it is out of adjustment?

Is there something wrong with that?
How about SERAFINA it means "burning one".
I'm not sure what you meant about your cycle timer.
Take a shim out of the latch. That should snug it up and take a measurement at the top and bottom hinge to see if they are parallel.
I have noticed the boiler does smoke a lot when running. I open the load door and can hear the roar of what I thought was gassification, but then if I go outside and look at the chimney it will be billowing grayish smoke. Is that normal?

You can have a blow through at one of the slots in the nozzle and this can let plenty of smoke out. It can be tough to always keep full gassification going. A nice deep bed of coals is a highly sought after state of burning.![]()

Still having trouble with the timer? I haven't wired mine yet so ill wait for you to figure out if its wrong.
Darren suggested connecting it to a switch to be able to shut it off during the height of the heating season.
I still cant figure this thing out.
The unit was off all day(from 7am) because we had temps in 60's.
Wife said It kicked on by itself at 4pm just to bring itself to temp.
It kicked itself back on a few minutes ago, again to bring itself to temp. There has been to house demand.
I go out to check on it and it's out. There is about an inch of charcoal and 3 charcoaled splits left.
I wave the torch over it for a few seconds and then load about 6 small splits in it.
Not an whisper of smoke out of the stack, there is a heavy roar and its gasifiying.
I'm starting think that too thick of a hot coal bed prevents gasification. Could this be possible?
usually when the coal bed is 4" or thicker I don't hear that thundering roar.
Maybe the gases can't get through the thick bed of coals and it smokes like a dragon.
Ahhhhh.... I don't know if that is true either, there has been plenty of times when I have a thick bed of coals and don't hear the roar, I reload and have no smoke out of the stack.
So I guess my last post was jus WAW WUH WAW WUH WAH.
Mike, you def want a switch on the timer. Once the heart of the heating season arrives you will have no use for the timer until the spring shoulder season.Still having trouble with the timer? I haven't wired mine yet so ill wait for you to figure out if its wrong.
