DO NOT BURN WET COAL
Freshly delivered coal is watered down to
eliminate dust when loading and unloading. Wet
rice coal does not ow as well as damp or dry
coal. We do not recommend burning wet coal,
however, we realize if it's the only coal you have
it is better to burn it than freeze. If you must burn
wet coal, the feed rate must be increased in
order to get the same size re. As the wet coal
in the hopper dries out, the feed rate must be
decreased. If you don’t, the feeder will over-re
the stove and waste coal. Doing this once or
twice a year will not damage your stove as long
as it is hot and burning. The damage is caused
when the hopper has wet coal in it when the
stove is cold. This will cause rust and corrosion
which is not covered by your warranty.
Usually after the coal dries for three or four
days, depending on conditions, it will ow very
well and feed properly. The feed rate will then
be the same as for dry coal.
