reduce the draft on the re. With anthracite there will be
short blue ames above the coal, except when the re
is started or a new charge is added. If, however, there is
no ame then the re needs more air from the bottom
(unless it is near the end of its burn cycle and needs to be
recharged).
Only when the coal is burned down to half its original
depth it is time to add fresh coal. When doing so, open
the stove pipe damper and turn the thermostat damper to
high, which will allow the re to burn off any accumulated
gases. Open the feed door, and with a small rake, hoe, or
hooked poker pull the glowing coals to the front of the
rebox. Try not to disturb the re too much. Next, add
a fresh charge to the back being careful not to seal off
the top. Close the feed door, but leave the spin damper
(or thermostat) open for a few minutes until the volatile
gases have burned off. It is not necessary to shake down
the ashes each time you refuel the furnace. Experience will
be your best teacher.
BANKING THE FIRE
For extended operation, such as overnight, the re will
need to be banked. To do so heap coal up along the sides
and back of the rebox so that the re gradually burns it
over a longer period of time. The intensity of the re will
also be reduced without letting it go out. Follow the same
procedure as for refueling. If possible, avoid shaking, as
a heavier layer of ash will help reduce the intensity of the
re during this time. After loading, let the re establish
itself for about 30 minutes. Then close your damper and
automatic control to the point where the house does not
become too cold. It is important that you begin banking
early enough before retiring or leaving that you can make
necessary adjustments after the re is well established.
To revive a coal re that is almost out,
(1) open the ash door and stove pipe damper and close
the spin damper under the door to get a good draft through
the grate.
(2) place a thin layer of dry coal over the entire top of the
re. DO NOT POKE OR SHAKE THE FIRE AT THIS TIME!
(3) after the fresh coal has become well ignited shake the
grate (just a little), refuel.
DO NOT burn coke, charcoal, high volatile bituminous coal,
sub bituminous, lignite or cannel coal (sometimes called
channel coal or candle coal).
NEVER burn wax or chemically impregnated sawdust logs
- their intended use is for replaces only.
NEVER ll the stove or furnace above the rebrick or cast
iron liner.
