ABOUT COAL STOVES

Modern coal stoves provide a good value method of heating, with relatively little work. They burn a hard coal known as Anthracite, rather than bituminous coal. They can also burn rice coal.

Most modern coal stoves are of the automatic 'stoker' type. This involves a powered mechanism for feeding the coal from a hopper, which can contain around 100 pounds of coal. This means that the stove need only be topped up with coal every two or three days. Ash needs to be removed every day or two.

Coal stoves can be fitted with a thermostat, which controls a convection fan. This allows the heat output to be adjusted to maintain desired room temperature.

The push assembly rides on heavy bronze bearings, the pusher arm and motor on ball bearings, and the gearbox on needle bearings. The Pent-Roof Combusion Chamber provides high fuel efficiency by reflecting heat back to the burning coal bed. The stove has a hundred pound hopper.

Wet coal can be burned without putting out the fire or damaging the feed system.
